Strongly Agree

Taxpayers should not be compelled to subsidize organizations that perform or promote abortions. Public funding for legitimate women’s healthcare should go to providers that do not take innocent human life.

No elective abortion should be permitted. Medical treatment may sometimes be necessary to save a mother’s life, but the purpose of that treatment should be addressing the serious medical condition, not intentionally ending the life of her unborn child. Both mother and child deserve every reasonable effort to protect their lives.

Strongly Agree

Every human life has inherent dignity and deserves protection, regardless of age, ability, dependency, or stage of development.

Strongly Agree

Human dignity does not depend on the method by which a life was conceived. Human embryos should not be intentionally created, used, or destroyed as disposable material.

Strongly Agree

Federal laws should be faithfully enforced according to their text and controlling court decisions, including the applicable requirements concerning unlawful intent.

Wages are generally best determined between employers and employees through a competitive labor market. Large government-mandated increases can eliminate entry-level jobs and disproportionately burden small businesses.

Strongly Agree

Free enterprise and private property encourage work, investment, innovation, responsibility, and opportunity. Government should protect a fair marketplace rather than pick winners and losers.

1. Require zero-based budgeting so programs must regularly justify their spending. 2. Conduct sunset reviews and eliminate ineffective or duplicative programs. 3. Modernize outdated technology and procurement systems while requiring clear, publicly reported performance measures.

Government may not establish an official religion, but it also may not prohibit the free exercise of religion or exclude people of faith from public life. The Constitution protects religious liberty; it does not require government officials, schools, or citizens to pretend that faith has no place in society.

Strongly Disagree

Government should not compel a person to speak, create, endorse, or directly participate in conduct that violates a sincerely held religious or moral belief. Religious liberty and freedom of conscience must receive meaningful protection.

C - Medicaid and Medicare should remain available for eligible populations, but I oppose expanding government-controlled healthcare. Reforms should instead increase competition, price transparency, provider availability, and individual choice while preserving a responsible safety net for the truly vulnerable.

Strongly Disagree

The government should not maintain broad, personally identifiable registries of citizens based on their medical conditions. De-identified public-health information may be useful, but individual medical privacy must be protected.

Strongly Agree

The United States must protect its military readiness, infrastructure, technology, intellectual property, supply chains, and agricultural resources from exploitation or control by the Chinese Communist Party.

Yes. Israel is an important strategic and democratic ally in a dangerous region. Cooperation with Israel supports intelligence sharing, counterterrorism, regional stability, and the security interests of both nations.

Strongly Disagree

Local governments should cooperate with lawful federal immigration enforcement, especially when dealing with people who have committed serious crimes. Cities should not adopt policies that deliberately obstruct federal law or endanger public safety.

Strongly Agree

Education is best directed by parents, teachers, local communities, and states rather than a distant federal bureaucracy. Any transition should preserve legitimate services while returning decision-making authority and accountability closer to students and families.

Agree

Foreign governments should not be permitted to buy influence over American curriculum, research, university policy, or students. Foreign funding should be strictly limited and fully disclosed, particularly when it originates from governments hostile to the United States.

Strongly Agree

Parents have the primary right and responsibility to make decisions concerning their children’s education, healthcare, upbringing, and moral formation. Government should support parents, not secretly or unnecessarily replace them.

Strongly Agree

Children should be protected from irreversible medical interventions intended to alter their sex, and schools should never socially transition a child without the parents’ knowledge and involvement. Policies should be compassionate, clear, and centered on the child’s long-term well-being.

Strongly Agree

I believe marriage is the lifelong union of one man and one woman. Government must also protect the religious liberty of individuals and institutions that teach, practice, and operate according to that belief.

Neutral

I am not seeking to expand gambling in Kansas. Before considering any additional gambling, the state should honestly evaluate the social costs, addiction, family consequences, and financial results of what has already been authorized.

I am a practicing Catholic who believes that every person is created by God and possesses inherent dignity. My faith calls me to protect life, strengthen families, serve my neighbors, defend religious liberty, and treat public office as a responsibility rather than a source of personal power. I try to apply the principles of faith, family, personal responsibility, subsidiarity, and service in both my personal life and public decisions.

Strongly Disagree

Reasonable photo-identification requirements help protect public confidence in elections and ensure that each lawful voter receives one vote. The state should also make appropriate identification readily accessible to eligible voters.

Strongly Disagree

Government should treat every individual equally under the law rather than assign benefits or liabilities based on race. We should address present injustice and expand opportunity without imposing collective guilt or racial discrimination.

Strongly Agree

Women and girls deserve fairness, safety, privacy, and equal athletic opportunity. Sex-based protections should be based on biological sex, particularly in sports and intimate or vulnerable settings.

Strongly Disagree

We should be responsible stewards of the environment and recognize that human activity can affect it, but sweeping mandates, carbon taxes, and politically selected technologies can raise costs without delivering meaningful results. Innovation, conservation, reliable energy, and market-driven improvements offer a more responsible approach.

Kansas should pursue every economically viable energy path, including nuclear, natural gas, renewables, and emerging technologies, while prioritizing reliability, affordability, and real performance over mandates.

Conservative

No

No

The criminal justice system should protect the public, uphold the rule of law, provide justice for victims, hold offenders accountable, and respect constitutional due process. When possible, it should also encourage rehabilitation, restitution, and successful reentry so that offenders do not create additional victims.

Strongly Agree

Government should vigorously investigate and prosecute trafficking, grooming, child sexual-abuse material, and the online exploitation of minors while respecting constitutional protections for lawful speech and privacy.

Strongly Agree

The United States Constitution and duly enacted American laws are controlling. No foreign or religious legal code, including Sharia law, may supersede constitutional rights, equal protection, due process, or American law.

The Second Amendment protects the fundamental individual right of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms. Existing laws concerning convicted violent criminals and individuals found dangerous through strong judicial due process should be enforced. Government should focus on violent offenders rather than burden responsible citizens with registries, firearm or magazine bans, arbitrary waiting periods, or one-size-fits-all mandates.
