Bipartisan Results for Kansans
I'm serving you 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 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.
Good ideas can come from Republicans and Democrats. That’s why more than seven out of every ten bills that I’m supporting are bipartisan.
I’ve also pushed for:
• Bipartisan Action to Change Washington: I stood up to my party’s leaders by supporting a bipartisan bill to ban insider stock trading by members of Congress.
• Bipartisan Help for Veterans: I 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.
• Bipartisan Results: Locally, I worked with Republicans and Democrats to bring Panasonic’s new manufacturing plant to De Soto. This means 4,000 jobs for our community, the largest-ever economic project for Kansas.
I’m here to serve every person and corner of our community, regardless of party. That starts with listening, so please take my survey on this page to share your thoughts with me. You can also use this page to find assistance, such as help with federal issues like veterans’ benefits or Social Security, or to locate resources to save on things like groceries, gas, and more.
Take the bipartisanship survey!

My office is here to help folks who are having issues at federal government agencies. That’s everything from backlogged veterans’ benefits to stalled tax refunds.
