Davids Marks One Year of Trump’s Second Term, Highlights Bipartisan Wins and Standing Up Against Extremism

On the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump’s second term as president, Representative Sharice Davids reflected on her work delivering bipartisan results for Kansans while continuing to push back against policies that threaten families, farmers, workers, and vulnerable communities.

“My job isn’t to play politics — it’s to deliver results for Kansans,” said Davids. “I’ve always said I’ll work with anyone, including President Trump, when it’s good for Kansas, and over the past year that approach has delivered real results — from helping bring a passport agency to Kansas City to supporting farmers and helping people get back to work. And when extreme policies raise costs for families, threaten Social Security, or put communities at risk, I won’t stay silent. I’ll keep showing up, telling the truth, and fighting for Kansans.”

Over the past year, Davids has worked with the Trump Administration where it benefited Kansas families and the Kansas City region, including:

• Advancing the new Kansas City Passport Agency, now under construction, which will save families hours of travel when they need passports quickly.
• Passing the CAREER Act, signed into law by Trump, to help people recovering from substance use disorder reenter the workforce.
• Securing federal aid for Kansas farmers while continuing to push for long-term trade stability instead of short-term fixes.
• Leading the bipartisanCongressional FIFA World Cup 2026 Caucus and coordinating with the White House Task Force to support Kansas City as a host city.
• Joining the President’s aviation leadership celebrating the continued implementation of her bipartisan next-generation aviation law, shaping the future of American air mobility.
• Pressing the administration to act on National Weather Service staffing, resulting in NOAA beginning to hire hundreds of critical employees in Kansas after dangerous cuts.

Davids has also forcefully opposed actions that would raise costs for Kansas families, all while giving huge tax giveaways to billionaires, including:

• Fighting reckless tariff policies that raise costs for farmers and families — with estimates showing households paying thousands more each year.
• Pushing back on attempts to cutMedicaid, threaten rural hospitals, restrict reproductive health care, and reduce food assistance to fund billionaire tax breaks.
• Opposing DOGE’s federal funding freezes and mass firings impacting Tribal programs, Head Start, cancer research,  domestic manufacturing, and fire departments.
• Speaking out against threats to Social Security, meeting directly with seniors concerned about service cuts and access.
• Defending Kansas manufacturing jobs after Trump-era cuts — and successfully pushing for temporary funding restoration.
• Condemning the shutdown of the bipartisan 988 LGBTQ+ crisis support line and urging its immediate reversal.
• Pressing the administration to put Kansas farmers first, opposing foreign agricultural bailouts and pushing for direct support for producers in the Kansas Third.

Whether working across the aisle to secure investments and create jobs or pushing back against policies that raise costs and threaten basic protections, Davids continues to center her work on what helps Kansas families succeed — not partisan politics. She has made clear that she will keep showing up, working with anyone when it benefits Kansas, and speaking out when it does not.
