Where Do The Candidates Stand on the Issues that Matter to You?

INTRODUCTION. Women for Kansas supports candidates who believe in the principles of good government—including public policies that are fiscally and morally responsible, fair to all people, and arrived at openly and transparently. We are nonpartisan, but not neutral where those principles are concerned. We don’t expect candidates to agree with us on all the issues we believe are important, but we asked they take the time to respond honestly, and as fully as necessary, to our questions. Below are the 2018 Candidates for Governor, Secretary of State, US and Kansas House and Kansas Senate. To view their responses, click on the name.

Not all candidates participate. Additional responses will be posted as they are received.
