CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP

Welcome to my website! I hope you’ll take some time to look around, reach out with any questions you might have, and get involved. Together, we can take conservative leadership back to Topeka.

Conservative first

Unchecked government expansion limits our freedom as individuals and hinders the growth of the businesses our state’s economy relies on to thrive. Kansans from all walks of life are impacted in very real ways and I am dedicated to standing up for people just like you. During my time in office, I have worked to limit bureaucratic intervention in our day-to-day lives and make government more efficient. I believe in the importance of defending life, strengthening the family, and protecting our most cherished rights. I will continue fighting for you in Topeka.

Join the effort!

Campaigns take work. So does governing. Our state needs leadership that understands our communities and puts Kansas first. As Majority Leader, I worked to achieve many things for Kansans and voters showed their support for our efforts by sending another Republican supermajority back to the Kansas House. But the work goes on. As Speaker of the House, I need your help to share our current successes and future goals with our neighbors. Together, we can ensure that Kansas continues to be a great place to live, work, and raise a family!

Masterson & Hawkins Respond to Kelly VetoesSB 14:“Kansans are tired of watching the government shutdown drama at the federal level, where politicians use people’s livelihoods as leverage to get their way. SB 14 prevents this by simply providing continuing appropriations in the rare event a budget is not yet agreed to at the end of the fiscal year. Sadly, the governor decided that she prefers the ways of Washington over ensuring state government, including our schools, is always open and operating. We stand ready to override her veto when we return.”SB 5:“Federal taxpayer money flowing into our elections threatens the integrity and opens the door to nefarious actors who might want to tip the scale in favor of partisan politics. SB 5 simply ensures thatelection officials cannot accept outside funds unless it’s allowed by law. It’s disappointing the governor chose to side with those who want to undermine our elections or give the appearance of mischief. We side with common sense and election security, and that’s why we’re committed to overriding her veto.”

"The Power Resides in the People of Kansas, Not an Elite Group of Lawyers"Kansans are one step closer to reclaiming their voice in their state judicial system. Today, the Kansas House passed SCR 1611 on a vote of 84-40. If passed by the voters, this constitutional amendment would replace the outdated, insider system of appointing Supreme Court justices with the democratic process of direct elections by the people.Kansas stands alone in the nation with this insider process- a commission stacked with attorneys that hold sway over who sits on our state's highest court. Set to be on the 2026 ballot, this constitutional amendment would empower voters to choose justices for six-year terms, through staggered elections beginning in 2028. By eliminating the insular Supreme Court Nominating Commission, SCR 1611 ensures a more transparent and democratic process, giving Kansans a voice.Kansas House of Representatives Leadership issued the following statement:“As we’ve traveled across Kansas listening to our communities, Kansans have told us they want to know more about who serves on Kansas’ highest court—a Supreme Court chosen by them, not handed down by an outdated, insider commission. SCR 1611 delivers just that, ending Kansas’ days as the only state with this system. This is the people’s victory, and we’re proud to stand with them as they reclaim their voice at the ballot box.”
