A Message from Steve

In the middle of the last legislative session, the precinct committee men and women voted for me to fill an unexpired term in the legislature. Now, with the 2026 legislative session completed, I’m asking for your support in the next election to continue representing you in District 85.

I previously served in this seat from 2003-2016 and during that time, was Chair of Commerce and Labor, Chair of Federal and State Affairs, Chair of the Joint Committee on State Building and Construction, and House Majority Whip.  Additionally, I was privileged to be on a variety of substantive committees. Additionally, I was privileged to serve on a variety of substantive committees, including Economic Development, Financial Institutions, Insurance, Human Trafficking, Local Government, Tax, and other committees.

My experience in the Legislature is exactly what District 85 needs at this time.

I Made a Promise

In the preamble to our constitution, it states, “We, the people of Kansas, grateful to Almighty God for our civil and religious privileges, in order to ensure the full enjoyment of our rights as American citizens, do ordain and establish this constitution of the state of Kansas … “

When sworn in, I once again promised to promote, obey, and protect our constitution, serving out of gratitude to Almighty God for our civil and religious privileges.  I took an oath, and I meant it.

PS … I want to visit with you all soon and look forward to all of your questions.
