*

Voters can tell when you see your job as yet one more rung on the ladder to the top – or when you’re more focused on wading into the national culture wars than on the job at hand. 


* I’ve found success by keeping my head down and focusing instead on what others may deride as boring issues: repairing streets, defending public schools, expanding affordable health care, and supporting middle-class families. 

* Too often, politicians act with only the next news cycle in mind. But voters have a much longer memory than they’re given credit for. In Kansas, I’ve found that people appreciate when their leaders speak frankly about the long-term realities facing our state. 

*

My office has heard from people across the state that they appreciate being listened to – despite the fact that many are, and will always be, Republicans. 


*

Here in Kansas, I’ve found that gaining voters’ trust is everything – and perhaps more surprising, that it’s possible, regardless of whether you have an R or D next to your name.
