Noah Perry for Kansas

We've reached the stage in my campaign I enjoy the least, asking for money.

For the last year I have been working towards the November 3rd general election for House District 66. The SparkNotes of this campaign start in July 2025, when I began talking about running for office. I was often met with confused looks in those initial meetings, nobody really expected someone my age to care about politics, much less dedicate well over a year of time and effort to try and be a small part of the system.

The next few months, I got to know the people of my district, going door to door, gathering signatures to get on the ballot. It's not required, it costs just $50 more to file without them, but I knew that it would be worth it. Putting forth that effort rather than just declaring myself "The Candidate for District 66", actually meeting hundreds of people who wanted to see change and be a part of making it happen was incredible to see, well worth the time.

The next milestone was crossed just recently. The Primary election. While I was unopposed, the time leading up to the filing deadline was honestly a bit stressful for me. At any point someone else within my party could have thrown their name in, and it would have changed everything. But as the weeks went by nobody did, and I retained the opportunity to represent my district in this election.

Now, I can't tell the full story of this campaign in one Facebook post. I've met so many amazing people along the way who have volunteered their time, given me advice, and heard my vision for the district. Whether they were elected officials, business owners, or voters at the door, I am grateful for the time I was given.

But now we've reached the point where confidence and a good pair of walking shoes won't be enough to win. In the last weeks of the campaign, I will need yard signs, physical and digital advertising. And while I will continue to meet with people, go door to door, and try to get my message out to the people in our district, right now I need your support.

If you have the ability to give, and are willing to invest in Kansas, invest in Manhattan, and invest in this campaign, then I would appreciate your donation today.

—Thank you, Noah Perry

Thoughts on this?

Personally I think this is a great move by the Haysville school district, and I think that we will see the benefits of this decision in the coming years if they stick to it.

To be clear, their classrooms will still have Chromebooks, but rather than each student having a personal device to carry around all day, they will check them out for specific assignments only when necessary.

The degree to which we have integrated technology into classrooms has proven to be irresponsible. Students are not performing at the levels we would like to see, the long-term effects of screens on developing brains are just now being revealed, and computer literacy itself has gone down in recent years.

Another point I’d clarify is, I don’t want to stop teaching students about technology, it’s almost essential for modern life, but I do think we need to stop integrating it into every part of their learning. Rather than immersing a child in screens and technology, we should teach them to properly use it as a tool in a more controlled manner.

It’s important to take a step back sometimes. Adjust our approach, and make sure that we are being responsible with our students’ futures. I do understand that many parents homeschool now, and rely on technology for their children’s education. It can work in specific cases, but when we are talking about the education system as a whole, I believe Haysville is making the correct decision.

Voter turnout in primary elections is notoriously low, which means voting now can make more of an impact than voting in the general election. This is your chance to choose who will represent your party on the ballot in November, just three months down the road.

While I am unopposed, there are still many races being decided today, and I look forward to seeing how this primary election resolves. Take the time and go vote!

I’m sure everyone is tired of hearing it, but I want to remind you that early voting is available for the August 4th primary election! I just voted today, and it took all of five minutes, so I encourage everyone to take the time and make their voice heard.

I am unopposed in the primary, but my name still appears on the ballot for House District 66. I appreciate everyone who has already cast a vote for me, and I hope to carry that momentum forward to the general election this November.

Thank you for all of your support!

Today, while I was out going door to door, I had an interesting conversation with a voter. It’s always a little awkward to interrupt someone’s day and try to talk about politics, but it’s the right thing to do. People need to be informed, and candidates need to listen to their constituents.

I knew pretty quickly that this person and I wouldn’t agree on everything, but they were still willing to stop and chat for a minute.

After describing my platform, they asked me to explain my position on some more controversial issues, which happens much less often than you may expect. As we went through them, we quickly ran out of topics. It was kind of eye opening to realize how little stands between two “opposite” sides.

Yet another good reminder that social media often serves to show us the most extreme sides of the political aisle. There is incentive for these algorithms to do it. But in reality, where machines don’t dictate what we think or who we interact with, if we stop and talk with our neighbors, we’ll realize there are only a few topics that can divide us.

It’s often said that if you took 100 issues, you could find common ground with someone politically opposite from you on all but 3-5 of them. I believe that’s true for the vast majority of us.

I hope to earn the responsibility of representing my entire district, and that means compromise, hearing differing opinions, and making difficult choices. There is value in a dissenting voice that I believe is lost on many politicians. Our policies are never perfect. None of us have all the answers. To believe that would be pure arrogance.

Stay informed, the primary election is coming up in just a few weeks, and when that is done, we’ll move on to a new phase in my campaign.

As this post says, we do not do a good enough job protecting Kansas children. Mathematically a child is abused daily in Kansas yet we still fail to keep s*x offenders out of our schools, we fail to stipulate where they live, and we fail to hold them in prison for acceptable lengths of time.

While some recognition must be given for legislation such as Caleb’s Law going into effect, we still need to take more proactive steps towards securing the future of our State. I will continue to shout out Erin's Law, a very reasonable piece of legislation that our state sorely needs. I intend to make sure s*x offender residency laws are considered during the next legislative session, as well as Erin’s law, and other proactive measures that we can take to prevent more tragic incidents.

On a more positive and hopeful note it’s important to remember that Erin’s Law was received favorably when it reached the Education Committee, and was even blessed by Senate President Ty Masterson, but at the end of the day it wasn’t passed into law. Despite that disappointing outcome the energy in legislature last session was very positive, and I feel that the priorities of both chambers are shifting at least in part towards topics listed in this post. There are definitely exciting changes to look forward to in the coming years.

Thank you Protecting KS Children From Sexual Predators for keeping people informed of these critical issues.

After a youth baseball league confirmed that a hired coach was a s*x offender, people in Wichita are asking questions about what restrictions s*x offenders face.

Just making sure everyone has seen this. Thank you City of Manhattan, Kansas - Municipal Government.

(Manhattan, KS - June 9, 2026) City of Manhattan crews continue storm response efforts after severe overnight weather brought strong winds and heavy rain, causing flooding, downed trees and downed pow

I planned on attending the Manhattan city commission meeting tonight at 6:00, but nature had other ideas. Spent the day clearing things up and escaping my own driveway.

That limb came within a few feet of landing on my car, so I have a lot to be grateful for. Not everyone was so lucky. Stay safe out there during storm season.

The Tim Tebow foundation continues to make meaningful progress in the fight against human trafficking. It should give us hope when collaboration like this happens at the highest levels.

I’m not always a fan of the federal government, but that doesn’t mean it never does any good. There are still moments where good policy makes a real impact, and I think it’s important to recognize that when it happens.

The Senate just PASSED my legislation with Tim Tebow to RESCUE thousands of children trapped in s*x trafficking.

That’s two hundred new law enforcement officers to find and rescue kids trafficked by predators and a new initiative to coordinate local, state, and federal enforcement.

This is the biggest surge against child trafficking EVER by the federal government. Let’s go rescue these kids

It looks like I will not face a primary opponent in August. The race for District 66 is now between myself and Democrat incumbent Sydney Carlin.

I will be going door to door in the upcoming weeks and months and I hope to, once again, hear concerns and connect with people across the district. My website https://www.noahperry4kansas.com/ has multiple methods you can use to contact me if you ever want to learn more, or if you want to help volunteer with my campaign.
