The Platform

Not for the Donors.
For the District.

Healthcare as a Human Right

In the wealthiest nation on earth, no family in Johnson County or Wyandotte County should go bankrupt over a medical bill.

  • Medicare for All. Support H.R.3069 and S.1506 (Medicare for All Act, 2025) to transition to a single-payer system, decoupling health insurance from employment and ensuring every Kansan has full coverage for primary care, vision, dental, and mental health.
  • Zero-Cost Insulin. Support H.R.6255 (Affordable Insulin Now Act) and fight to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs at $0, not $35. Use federal authority to negotiate drug prices across the board.
  • Protecting Reproductive Freedom. Codify the protections of Roe v. Wade through the Women's Health Protection Act (H.R.12 / S.2150), honoring the decisive "No" vote Kansans cast in 2022 to protect bodily autonomy.

An Economy for the Working Class

For too long, the 3rd District has seen growth that benefits the top while working families fall behind. Median household income in KS-03 is $100K, but that number masks the real gap between Johnson County and Wyandotte County.

  • A Living Wage. Support the Raise the Wage Act (S.1332 / H.R.2743) for a $17/hour federal minimum wage by 2030, indexed to median wages, and eliminate subminimum wages for tipped and disabled workers.
  • Strengthening Unions. Pass the PRO Act to end "Right to Work" laws that weaken collective bargaining and protect the right of workers at Amazon warehouses, Panasonic, and local manufacturing hubs to organize.
  • Universal Childcare. Implement a federal program capping childcare costs at 7% of a family's income, because no parent should have to choose between working and raising their kids.

Climate Action and Kansas Green Jobs

The 3rd District is already leading the renewable energy transition. Kansas generates 52% of its electricity from wind, third-highest in the nation. The $4 billion Panasonic battery plant in De Soto created 4,000 jobs. We build on that.

  • Green Manufacturing. Protect and expand federal investment in the De Soto corridor and beyond. Create thousands of union-protected jobs in battery, wind turbine, and solar manufacturing. Fight the rollback of Inflation Reduction Act incentives that made these jobs possible.
  • Resilient Infrastructure. Upgrade the power grid and regional water systems to withstand the extreme weather patterns already affecting Kansas farmers and urban communities.
  • Transit Justice. Expand the RideKC regional transit system to create reliable, fare-free connections between Wyandotte and Johnson County, reducing emissions and increasing job accessibility for the workers who need it most.

Housing for People, Not Profit

The suburban housing crisis is the number one issue facing young families and seniors in our district.

  • Green New Deal for Public Housing. Support legislation to invest $23 billion annually to repair existing public housing units and build millions of new, sustainable, deeply affordable social housing.
  • Tenant Bill of Rights. Fight for federal rent stabilization and just-cause eviction protections to keep Kansans in their homes.
  • Ban Corporate Landlords. Tax the mass acquisition of single-family homes by private equity firms and return the housing market to first-time homebuyers and Kansas families.

Justice Reform and Community Safety

We must move beyond failed "tough on crime" rhetoric toward evidence-based community safety.

  • End the War on Drugs. Fully legalize cannabis at the federal level through the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act, expunge past records, and fund community equity programs.
  • End Cash Bail. Support legislation to ensure that freedom is not determined by the size of your bank account.
  • Common-Sense Gun Safety. Pass the Assault Weapons Ban (H.R.3115 / S.1531), implement universal background checks, and treat gun violence as the public health crisis it is.

Responsible AI Governance

As a technology professional, Sarah understands that AI will reshape work, healthcare, agriculture, and democracy. Kansas deserves a representative who can lead on this issue, not one who takes money from the companies lobbying against regulation.

  • Workers First. Ban fully automated employment decisions without meaningful human review. Require employers to notify workers when AI is used in hiring, scheduling, or performance evaluation. Protect organizing rights from AI surveillance and algorithmic retaliation.
  • Consumer Rights. Prohibit algorithmic discrimination in lending, housing, healthcare, and education. Guarantee the right to know when AI is making decisions that affect your life, and the right to appeal those decisions to a human being.
  • Farmer Data Ownership. Your field data belongs to you. Fight for farmer data ownership rights, right to repair AI-enabled equipment, and USDA grants for small and mid-size farm AI adoption. Enforce antitrust against ag-tech monopolies squeezing out family farms.
  • Protect Our Elections. Require disclosure labels on AI-generated political content. Criminal penalties for deepfakes intended to deceive voters. Technology companies have a responsibility to truth, and Congress has a responsibility to act.
  • Innovation with Guardrails. Make the NIST AI Risk Management Framework mandatory for high-risk systems. Support small business AI adoption through grants and technical assistance. America can lead in AI and protect people at the same time.
  • Rural Healthcare AI. Expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage of AI diagnostic tools to bring specialist-level care to underserved Kansas communities. Require bias testing so rural patients don't get worse care from algorithms.

Immigration: Our Strength, Not Our Enemy

Nine percent of the Kansas workforce is immigrant: 141,000 workers contributing $8.3 billion in earnings and $2.2 billion in taxes. They are 19% of our construction workforce and 11% of manufacturing. They are building the Panasonic plant. They are building Kansas.

  • Abolish ICE. Support the Abolish ICE Act (H.R.7123) and the Melt ICE Act. Redirect enforcement funding to community-based programs that actually keep people safe.
  • Protect Kansas Workers. Comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for undocumented workers already contributing to our communities and economy.
  • Stop the Raids. No community should live in fear. End workplace raids and cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration agents.

Get Money Out of Politics

None of this is possible while our representatives answer to donors instead of voters.

  • No Corporate PAC Money. Sarah will never take corporate PAC money. Period.
  • No AIPAC Money. Sarah will never take AIPAC money or do the bidding of a foreign government committing war crimes.
  • Overturn Citizens United. Support a constitutional amendment to establish that corporations are not people and money is not speech.
  • Public Election Financing. Fight for a system where candidates are funded by the people they represent, not the industries they're supposed to regulate.
