Backs Medicaid Expansion.

“My position is that Medicaid expansion is both a moral and economic imperative. We should absolutely stop
fighting in the legislature over something that 75% to 78% of Kansans approve of.” (Source:

Backed repeal of Brownback tax cuts

“So combined with the repeal of the failed Brownback tax experiment, and this very comprehensive
framework for growth, we achieved that sort of economic comeback in 2019. What I would like to see is
continued emphasis on that. (Source: https://klcjournal.com/kansas-house20/)

Claims there is “racial bias in our system.

“For our community to be healthy and strong, we have to value every single member of that community and
understand that the protests that we saw this summer are the cries of people who have been systematically
defeated. There is absolutely racial bias in our system. It is my responsibility to bring that to the legislature
and address it in every institution in our state.” (Source: https://klcjournal.com/kansas-house20/)
In a 2020 Shawnee Mission Post article, Poskin claimed “Black lives have consistently NOT mattered
on equal footing with white lives. Our institutions and codified policies contribute to systemic racism
and white privilege is real. Period”

The problem with three word slogans, particularly for a topic as complex and layered as racial justice, is
that they can not portray the full picture and force us to take an US vs THEM mentality. This never has,
nor will it ever, help us progress and fulfill the promise of the great American experiment in equality. I
like to visualize movements as a Venn diagram, so we can clearly see the overlap and areas of common
opportunity. Then we have to see where we can personally contribute to any given movement.

Black lives have consistently NOT mattered on equal footing with white lives. Our institutions and
codified policies contribute to systemic racism and white privilege is real. Period. White privilege does
not lessen any individual’s struggles, work ethic or earned status. It simply means that their skin color
was not a detracting factor in their journey. As a Kansas House Representative, I believe there are clear
actions we can take to remove skin color as a detracting factor in public policy for our neighbor’s
journey. As well, my Christian faith tradition commands me to “Love My Neighbor as Myself.”

My opponent is corralling fear when she promises to “fully fund the police,” since it is not the role of the
state legislature to do so. I requested to meet with our Leawood and OP police chiefs to find out what
they really need from our state legislature to support them. Chief Donchez was clear- the legislature
needs to fund mental health services to support our police. That has always been a priority on my
platform. I drove one of OP’s finest to soccer practice for years and my lifelong best friend has been a
police officer since 1984. Supporting our police and ensuring that all are treated fairly are
complementary, not oppositional, actions.

I do not believe that our current Kansas records and meetings laws guarantee sufficient transparency.
