Priority Issues:
1. Fund public education
-- now and in the future
2. Reverse the biggest tax increase in state history
-- which the current Legislature and Brownback passed to pay for letting 300,000 business taxpayers off the hook.
3. Restore responsible fiscal policy
-- instead of paying today's expenses with money reserved for roads and children's programs
4. End extremism
-- and apply measured and open practices
