Why I'm Running: Property Taxes Are Crushing Western Kansas

I've lived in western Kansas for 32 years. I'm a lifelong Republican, married to my beautiful wife Michelle, and together with my three sons — Alex, Dane, and Mason. This is my home. These are my neighbors. That's why I'm running.

Understanding the Vision

Paul Simoneau's campaign is built on a foundation of community engagement. He believes that the best solutions come from listening to the voices of the people. His vision for District 120 includes:

• Property Taxes: Since 2021, 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. Paul is 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, Paul plans to create job opportunities that benefit everyone in the district.

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

Key Issues Facing District 120

Property Taxes

Kansans have seen their 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. Paul proposes:

• Creating a business incubator program to support startups 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

Paul Simoneau's campaign is not just about him — 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, Paul is committed to building a community that works for everyone. Join him in this journey toward a brighter future for District 120.
