- "My core beliefs: 1) rape victims are not incubators for folks who want a domestic supply of infants." (mobile.twitter.com)
- "The Supreme Court draft opinion says states can criminalize all abortion, with no rape or incest exception, no concern for life of the mother. Ectopic pregnancies are not a reality. These extremist positions shared by the Court are not supported by the majority of Americans." (mobile.twitter.com)
- "We need to defend the right of every woman to have autonomy over her body and make a decision about abortion. This basic human right should not be regulated by the government. We must especially stand up against inhumane abortion restrictions that offer no exceptions for rape, incest, and a womans health." (www.hollandforkansas.com)
- "Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. We must provide affordable healthcare to every person and every community. Too many rural and urban hospitals have closed, while politicians play a pointless culture war instead of expanding Medicaid." (www.hollandforkansas.com)
- "Medicare should cover hearing, dental, & vision. Medicare should be allowed by law to negotiate lower prices for prescription medicine. Life saving insulin shouldn't cost over $35. It all seems common sense, but my opponent Senator Moran disagrees and thinks it's too expensive." (mobile.twitter.com)
- "Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. We must provide affordable healthcare to every person and every community. Too many rural and urban hospitals have closed, while politicians play a pointless culture war instead of expanding Medicaid. There have also been too many irresponsible conspiracy theories about this global pandemic and vaccines that risk setting our country back 100 years in public health and wellbeing." (www.hollandforkansas.com)
- "Power must be returned to the American people. Citizens United allows untraceable dark money allows the few to control our politics and inflame a lose/lose culture war, thereby preventing Congress from crafting meaningful legislation. We must require organizations that spend money on elections to disclose their donor information." (www.hollandforkansas.com)

- "I support the US infrastructure bills so Kansans can work with dignity to support themselves and their families. Smart federal spending grows the public sector, not the government." (www.hollandforkansas.com)
- "The Build Back Better Act will allow Kansans access to universal Pre-K, lower prescription drug prices, and affordable healthcare subsidies. The bill will also invest billions into the climate crisis. The Senate must pass it immediately!" #BuildBackBetter #DemocratsDeliver (mobile.twitter.com)

- "Reminder: the reason the Inflation Reduction Act (which is being voted on today), does not cap monthly insulin at $35 FOR ??ALL?? 293,000 KANSANS WITH DIABETES, is because Jerry Moran voted specifically to block the provision. I'm for it. Why is Jerry Moran against it?" (twitter.com)
- "America's outstanding education debt balance exceeds $1.7 trillion. 4.4 million borrowers have been repaying student loans for at least 20 years. It now costs $27,000 to attend one year at KU, making a four year degree out of reach at $110,000. Addressing this is not stupid." (twitter.com)

- "I refuse to accept mass shootings of children as normal. If America does not stand for our children, for what do we stand? Kansas deserves a US Senator with the courage to put common sense background checks in place." (mobile.twitter.com)
- "Congress has the power to lower prescription drug costs, Senator Moran just doesn't want to. All it would take is to start letting Medicare negotiate for cheaper drug prices like life saving insulin. I'm running for U.S. Senate to give Kansas a new voice. Lets get it done" (twitter.com)

- "Starting next year, no senior will pay more than $35 a month for insulin, and from 2025, none will pay more than $2000 a year out of pocket for prescription drugs thanks to a bill that also REDUCES the deficit. Im for it. Why is Jerry Moran against it?" (twitter.com)
