Why I’m Running: Property Taxes Are Hitting Western Kansas Hard

I’ve called western Kansas home for 32 years. As a lifelong Republican, husband to Michelle, and father to Alex, Dane, and Mason, I’m running because this is my family, my neighbors, and my future. My vision for District 120 is simple: listen to the people and deliver results.

Understanding the Vision

My campaign is built on a foundation of community engagement. I believe that the best solutions come from listening to the voices of the people. My vision for District 120 includes:

• Property Taxes: Since 2021, residential property tax valuations across Kansas have increased an average of 40% — and some western Kansas counties have been hit even harder. That's not acceptable. I am running because somebody has to stand up and fight for the homeowners and farmers of District 120.

• Improving Education: A strong education system is vital for the future of our children and our community.

• Economic Development: By fostering local businesses and attracting new investments, My plan is to create job opportunities that benefit everyone in the district.

• Public Safety: Ensuring the safety of residents is a top priority. I advocate for better support for local law enforcement and community safety programs.

Key Issues Facing District 120

Property Taxes

Kansans have seen their residential property tax valuations skyrocket — 40% on average since 2021, with some counties hit even harder. Farmers and homeowners in western Kansas are getting squeezed, and the Legislature has been slow to act. Paul is running to finish that fight and deliver real relief.

Economic Development

District 120 has the potential for significant economic growth. I propose and small businesses.

• Hosting job fairs to connect residents with local employers.

• Promoting tourism by highlighting the unique attractions and events in the district.

How You Can Get Involved

My campaign is about just me — it's about all of us. Volunteer, attend events, spread the word, and vote. Every action counts.

Building a Stronger Future Together

With a focus on property tax relief, education, economic development, and public safety, I am committed to building a community that works for everyone. Join him in this journey toward a brighter future for District 120.
