Western Kansas deserves leadership rooted in real life, real work, and real community.
For 32 years, I’ve called western Kansas home. I’m a lifelong Republican, husband to my Michelle, and proud father of three sons, Alex, Dane, and Mason. I’ve driven these roads, balanced the family budget, and built a life right here in District 120.
I understand what families are facing because I’m living it too. I know what it means to watch property taxes rise year after year while paychecks struggle to keep up. The people of western Kansas deserve leadership that listens, understands, and delivers results.
Key Issues
Property Taxes
Since 2021, residential property valuations across Kansas have increased dramatically an average of 40% statewide – here at home in Cheyne County a staggering 83%, Wallace County 54%, Sherman 37%, Thomas 34%... Farmers, homeowners, and retirees are carrying a heavier burden every year. I’m running to fight for meaningful property tax reform that brings fairness, predictability, and transparency back to the system.
Education
Strong schools build strong communities. I support investing in quality education, modern facilities, and the teachers who prepare the next generation for success.
Public Safety
Every family deserves to feel safe. I will support law enforcement, strengthen emergency response services, and promote partnerships that keep our communities secure and connected.
Economic Development
Western Kansas thrives when small businesses, agriculture, and local industries succeed. I will work to attract investment, expand job opportunities, and support long-term economic growth across the district.
Healthcare Access
Access to quality healthcare should not depend on your ZIP code. I will work to improve healthcare access for rural communities and ensuring families can get the care they need close to home.
Transparency and Accountability
Public service is about trust. I believe taxpayers deserve transparency and accountability.
How You Can Get Involved
Volunteer. Attend events. Spread the word. Most importantly, vote.
Supporting me, Paul Simoneau, means supporting a lifelong Kansan who understands western Kansas values and is ready to fight for the future of District 120.
