I want to share my strong support for Stephen Owens, Candidate for the 31st District, Kansas Senate.His conscientious untiring advocacy for disabled Kansans has been exemplary.Kansas faces a serious issue with its Medicaid waitlist for Intellectually/Developmentally Disabled and Physically Disabled Kansans.Currently over 7,000 disabled Kansans are waiting over twelve years to receive the crucial services they desperately need yesterday.Despite repeated opposition from the Governor, Stephen successfully fought to change this.During the 2024 legislative session, Stephen successfully reduced the Medicaid Waitlist by 1,000 individuals on the I/DD and PD Wait Lists.Stephen’s focus remains on Kansans who need Medicaid the most: the disabled, children, the elderly, and expectant mothers.Stephen understands Medicaid was originally created to serve these vulnerable populations.

WICHITA — The race for five seats on the Kansas State Board of Education could dramatically shift the board’s political makeup, which could reshape academic standards or the way schools approach social-emotional learning.Currently, four of the 10 board members — Michelle Dombrosky, Cathy Hopkins, Dennis Hershberger and Danny Zeck — are conservative Republicans who campaigned in recent elections against what they described as “woke” leanings in public schools.They spoke out against lessons on racism, sexuality and gender identity, as well as efforts to be more inclusive of trans kids.
