Big news in the gubernatorial race!

I’ve got big news for Kansas! I’m proud to announce State Representative KC Ohaebosim as my pick for Lieutenant Governor.

He believes in strong public schools, affordable healthcare, good jobs, and making government work for ordinary people, not just the wealthy and well-connected.

Our campaign is about fighting for hardworking Kansans and keeping our state affordable. KC will help us make that happen. Welcome KC to the team!
