PRIORITIES
Karen is running for State Senate to ensure Kansans living in Stilwell, Leawood and Overland Park have access to great schools, quality accessible healthcare, including reproductive freedom, and fair tax policies.
PUBLIC EDUCATION
Both of my parents were public educators and living in Johnson County allowed my kids to attend our excellent public schools. As Senator I will be a strong advocate for Kansas’s public schools and all of the students who attend them, and fight back against policies that send public tax dollars to private schools and that interfere with the work of our amazing educators.
HEALTHCARE
By not expanding Medicaid, not only is Kansas losing out on billions of dollars, but many Kansans now have to drive hours to receive basic care, stressing the healthcare system even in areas like Johnson County. As Senator I will vote to expand Medicaid and increase funding and access to all kinds of healthcare, including mental health services.
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
In 2022, Kansans spoke loud and clear that they did not want politicians in their exam rooms. I believe that every person deserves the right to control their reproductive health and their future. As your state legislator, I will be a strong advocate for reproductive freedom and fight to protect essential health care every step of the way.
FAIR TAX SYSTEM
Kansans deserve a fair tax system that invests in working families. In the Legislature I will fight for a tax code that strengthens everyone’s pocketbooks, not just the wealthy few. Kansans across the state shouldn’t have to worry about being priced out of the homes they’ve raised their families in. That’s why I will also support much needed property tax relief and other tax changes with immediate, direct benefits.
