Hi John.
Kansans are very pragmatic – and rightly so. Representatives should work together to get things done, regardless of party.
It’s understandable when people have honest disagreements. But at the end of the day, Kansans need solutions to lower their costs, strengthen their schools, and keep their communities safe. We can’t just remain divided for the sake of partisan politics.
That’s why more than seven out of every ten bills I’m supporting in the House of Representatives are bipartisan.

I’ll always work with anyone, in either party, who has a good idea that can make a difference for Kansas.
That’s why I’m focused on concrete and bipartisan solutions to build a better future, with more jobs and lower prices.
By fighting corruption and extremism across the political spectrum, I know we can deliver results for hardworking Kansans. And that’s on both sides of the aisle, which is why it’s important to stand up even when I disagree with my own party.
That’s why I –
• Stood up to leaders in my own party and stopped congressional pay raises. At a time of rising prices, the last people who should get a raise are members of Congress.
• Stood up to my party leaders again to stop insider stock trading in Congress. We’ve seen officials appear to use their privilege for personal gain. This is absolutely unacceptable. Members of Congress shouldn’t be able to use inside information to buy and sell stocks.
• Pushed the President to reopen closed oil refineries and get gas prices down. I also stood up to my party’s leaders by introducing a bill to suspend the federal gasoline tax and voted to support American energy and clean energy production.
• Worked with President Trump’s Administration, and Republicans and Democrats in Kansas and Missouri, to bring 700 new good-paying jobs to the Kansas City Metro region. We pushed the United States Department of Agriculture to bring key research facilities to our region. We live in the middle of the national biosciences corridor. Our area is naturally primed to take advantage of this opportunity. Some in my own party disagreed, but I fought to get this done because it was the right thing to do for Kansans.
• Demanded that House leaders get our debt under control by honoring Pay-As-You-Go budget rules. Any new programs must be paid for – with spending cuts in other areas, or revenue.
• Worked with Republicans and Democrats as the Vice Chair of the Infrastructure Committee to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The Chamber of Commerce says the law is fiscally responsible, and now we’re seeing the results. That includes modernizing U.S. 69 in Overland Park and replacing lead pipes in Olathe.
• Served as a negotiator with Republicans and Democrats to finalize a major bipartisan economic law – the CHIPS and Science Act. I was honored to work alongside people in both parties, including Kansas Senator Jerry Moran, to pass this groundbreaking new law. It finally invests in American manufacturers so we can secure our supply chains and lower costs. It’s past time that we made more products and jobs in the U.S – not China.
Whether we agree on everything or not, my job is to serve you – regardless of party. I am here to serve every person and every corner of our community to the best of my ability.
