Jason will advocate for Medicaid expansion and the protection of women's reproductive rights. He will work to reduce barriers to mental and physical healthcare across the state. Investments in prevention and early intervention will improve Kansas lives and reduce long-term costs.

Jason will advocate for strategic investments in community childcare, early childhood education, and our public schools. He will work to increase teacher salaries and to fund special education, the arts, and creative models including ag-based and project-based learning.

Jason will advocate for budgets that invest in the roots of our communities, the families who work to build the Kansas economy. He will advocate for lower property taxes, and he will expect the wealthy and big corporations to pay their fair share, recognizing that trickle-down economics doesn't work for regular Kansans.

Jason will advocate for smart policies to lower property taxes, increase the supply of rental homes, and reduce barriers to expanded housing options in Kansas. Investments in affordable, energy-efficient housing build communities, strengthen families, and reduce long-term costs for the most vulnerable.

Jason will advocate for policies to protect the groundwater we depend on, to improve the land that feeds our families, and to preserve the natural world in which we live. Wise stewardship of our irreplaceable shared resources is essential for the futures of our children and our communities.

Jason will advocate for equal treatment and legal protections for every Kansan — regardless of wealth, social status, birthplace, first language, gender and identity, sexual orientation, skin color, chosen occupation, political affiliation, or any of the other factors that make Kansans colorful and diverse.

Jason will advocate for legalization of regulated medical cannabis to provide doctor-approved treatment for pain, nausea and other health problems. Kansas doctors are already recommending cannabis to their patients, and Kansas dollars are instead going to the billion dollar cannabis industries next door.

Jason will advocate for sensible, evidence-based policies to reduce gun deaths. He believes that when someone, like his son David, feels suicidal in Harvey or Sedgwick County, they should find it easier to get mental health care than to buy a gun. Trigger locks, safe storage laws, and waiting periods can reduce angry, impulsive, and irreversible actions.
