Hi John.

I know Kansans are frustrated by partisanship and gridlock in Washington. That’s why I'm serving to bring a new generation of leadership to Washington.

My mom raised my brothers and me on her own while serving in the Army and then in the U.S. Postal Service. I later worked my way through college and am still paying off my student loans. I know people are sick and tired of partisan gridlock because I’ve felt that same frustration myself. The last thing anyone needs right now is more extremism in either party.

That's why more than seven out of every ten bills I’m supporting are bipartisan.

What would you like Republicans and Democrats to work on together? Please click here to visit davids.house.gov/bipartisan to take my survey and learn more.

I know good ideas can come from Republicans and Democrats. It’s not always easy, but Kansans should expect results and civility.

That’s why I stood up to my party’s leaders to stop congressional pay raises. Then I stood up to them again by supporting a bipartisan bill to ban insider stock trading by members of Congress. It’s wrong for officials in either party to abuse the public’s trust for their own personal gain.

I later introduced and passed a bipartisan bill to help veteran-owned small businesses access resources to grow and hire. I also worked with both parties to pass a law that’s funding a new clinic at the Kansas City VA. This means helping more veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits.

And locally, I was glad to work with Republicans and Democrats to help bring Panasonic’s new manufacturing plant to De Soto. This means 4,000 jobs for our community, the largest-ever economic project for Kansas.

But I know there’s a lot more work to do.

My job is to serve every person and corner of our community, regardless of party. Whether we agree on every issue or not is beside the point. Everyone deserves a government that works for them – not just for special interests, big corporations, or the extremes of either party.

It’s an honor to serve you in the U.S. House of Representatives. Feel free to contact me at any time.

My warmest regards,

Sharice L. Davids
Member of Congress
