💰 The common theme for the MAGA statewide Republican slate: generosity for powerful interests, followed by lectures about responsibility for everyone else. America has heard this promise before. In the 1920s, Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon promoted business tax cuts as a path to shared prosperity. The Great Depression had many causes, but its devastation showed why families needed protections. Roosevelt’s New Deal provided jobs, banking safeguards and Social Security. Nearly a century later, consider these priorities: 🏛️ Roger Marshall voted for the 2025 Republican tax and spending law. CBO projects fewer resources for households with the lowest incomes, gains for households with upper middle and high incomes, and trillions added to federal deficits. Our children inherit the borrowing. Masterson, Hawkins and Proctor voted to give qualifying data centers 20 years of sales tax exemptions. Ordinary Kansans deserve an equally serious commitment to affordability. 🏟️ Masterson and Hawkins also supported the 2026 sports authority and STAR bond legislation covering stadium financing and major amusement parks. Kansans deserve clear public benefits, including whether average families can afford admission to projects they help support. Masterson backed the Brownback tax experiment and opposed its repeal in 2017. He and Hawkins continue advocating a flat income tax. Kansans already experienced the budget problems, sales tax increase and spending cuts that followed Brownback’s promises. ⚖️ Kobach’s failed defense of unconstitutional voter registration restrictions left Kansas responsible for $1.9 million in negotiated attorney fee judgments. 🗳️ Proctor was recorded saying he wanted to eliminate early voting and restrict mail ballots to military and severely disabled voters. Voters should weigh his statements alongside his push to eliminate the mail ballot grace period. Voting should be secure, accessible and fair. 🤖 Proctor also proposed AI business guidance and legislation exempting companies from regulatory fines when the state’s website inadequately explains their obligations. Clear guidance should help businesses comply while preserving enforceable protections for workers and consumers but business law enforcement and compliance are not roles for the Secretary of State or its Artificial Intelligence investment. These candidates seek different offices, but the question is the same: whose interests will government protect? ✂️ Cut benefits for those who need them. 💸 Give tax breaks to those who don’t. 🧒 Leave the bill to those too young to vote. Then call it “fiscal responsibility.” 🌻 Kansans deserve government that protects their rights, spends wisely, makes everyday life affordable and invests in their children’s future. #KansasPolitics #Election2026 #FiscalResponsibility #PeopleOverProfits #Vote #KsLeg #KsSen #Election2026
