Issue Position: Limited Government

Issue Position

Year after year we've seen politicians, Democrats and unfortunately some Republicans grow both the size and scope of government. There's no question that the bigger government gets, the more we see corruption and waste, higher taxes, out of control spending, and complicated bureaucracy. The more control given to people who sit in Washington, the less individual liberty Kansans and all Americans will have.

I firmly believe that the federal government has a few foundational purposes: protecting us in a dangerous and uncertain world, helping maintain and build our nation's infrastructure, and allowing for economic and individual freedom. The most effective type of government is the one that is closest to the people it serves. Too often, bureaucrats and politicians in Washington think they know what's better for people than those who live everyday in their communities.
