I’m not telling you who to ride with. I’m simply telling you who I’m riding with… For 26 years, I traveled the roads of Kansas as a state trooper. I met people on some of the worst days of their lives. I never asked which political party they belonged to before helping them. They were people who needed someone. In those dark and dangerous moments, I was there to serve them and help guide them toward safety and a better tomorrow. Somewhere along the way, our country started forgetting how to see one another that way. We have become quicker to judge, slower to listen, and far too comfortable treating anyone who disagrees with us like an enemy. I’m not trying to be a good Democrat or a good Republican. I’m trying to be a good neighbor. I don’t believe this road is taking us where we need to go. Taking a different direction does not require tearing someone down. In 2019, @RogerMarshallMD nominated me for the Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service in Policing. He wrote about my leadership, compassion, and the way I used social media to connect with Kansans and encourage safer choices. Roger once saw leadership in me. Speaking honestly now is my way of trying to live up to it. After talking with @Hamilton4Kansas, I believe he will listen before he speaks, see people before political labels, and treat those who disagree with him with dignity. I think about our communities, my children and my granddaughter. I want them to live in a country where kindness can still be seen, disagreement does not divide us, and we show up for those who need help. You may decide differently. I will still care about you. That matters more to me than any election. This November, I’m riding with Adam Hamilton for the United States Senate. #HelpMore
