Amelia believes government works best when it focuses on improving everyday life for Kansas families. Her priorities are rooted in affordability, opportunity, personal freedom, and building stronger communities — from protecting public education and voting rights to expanding access to child care, elder care, and healthcare. She is committed to practical, people-focused solutions that help every Kansan thrive.
Reliable and affordable public transportation is essential to building an economy that works for everyone. For too many Kansans, the high cost of owning and maintaining a vehicle places an enormous strain on household budgets. Amelia supports investments in public transportation and infrastructure that expand access to jobs, education, healthcare, and essential services while reducing the financial burden on working families.
A strong democracy depends on every eligible voter having easy and secure access to the ballot box. Amelia believes voting should be accessible, transparent, and protected from unnecessary barriers. She supports policies that expand voter access, protect mail voting, and ensure every Kansan can make their voice heard without undue obstacles or confusion.
Affordable child care is essential for working families and a strong economy. Today, many families are forced to make impossible financial choices because the cost of quality care is simply out of reach. Amelia supports increasing access to affordable, high-quality child care programs and investing in early childhood education so parents can work and children can thrive.
Personal healthcare decisions should remain between patients and their doctors. Amelia believes reproductive freedom is a fundamental part of personal liberty and supports protecting access to contraception, abortion care, and comprehensive reproductive healthcare for all Kansans.
Every Kansan deserves dignity, safety, and quality care as they age. Having served as a caregiver for her grandmother, Amelia understands firsthand both the rewards and the financial challenges of elder care. She supports policies that expand access to affordable long-term care, strengthen support for caregivers, and help families avoid financial hardship while caring for loved ones.
Kansas faces growing water challenges, particularly in western parts of the state, and addressing them will require long-term planning and responsible leadership. Amelia supports investing in sustainable water management, conservation efforts, and infrastructure improvements to protect Kansas water resources for future generations while supporting agriculture, communities, and economic growth.
Kansas public schools are the foundation of strong communities and future opportunity. Amelia believes every child deserves access to a fully funded, high-quality public education regardless of their zip code. She opposes efforts to undermine public schools through underfunding and voucher schemes and supports investing in teachers, classrooms, and student success.
