Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Business and Consumers

I have a record of working to improve the economy of Kansas and Manhattan. For example, as Mayor of Manhattan I purchased the Technology Park at the Manhattan Regional Airport. Having the park enabled us to bring businesses to our community and create jobs.

As a former business owner of The Color Center, Carlin & Jones Career Associates, Inc., Kansas City Dental Care, Inc., I understand the needs of businesses and employees. I serve on the Manhattan Workforce Advisory Board which works to solve community job-related issues.

For the first 5-6 years in the House of Representatives I served on the Economic Development Committee. We created growth in Kansas jobs through the Economic Growth Act and the Kansas Bio Science Authority, as well as funding various projects through the Department of Commerce. We approved the development of STAR Bonds and that the decisions must be made through the Department of Commerce.
