Today, Senate Democrats introduced a policy package to make life more affordable for Kansans. We will continue to pressure the supermajority into taking up these bills. It’s time our government focused on something other than culture wars and special interests. #ksleg

Sen. @ethancorson introduced Senate Bill 218 to raise the minimum wage in Kansas to $15 an hour. Raising the minimum wage will put more money in people’s pockets. #ksleg

“My fellow legislators should listen to Kansans who, time and time again, express that they want to see Medicaid expanded in our state." This week, Senator Pat Pettey introduced Governor Laura Kelly’s proposal to expand Medicaid to 150,000 additional Kansans. 👇 #ksleg

70% of voucher users already attend private school. This isn't "school choice." It's a subsidy for parents who already send their kids to private schools. Vouchers are wrong for Kansas. #ksleg

Today, Senate Republicans passed a bill banning the mail-in ballot grace period, which would make it harder for veterans, elderly, and disabled Kansans to vote. Sen. Faust-Goudeau stands up for the rights of ALL Kansans to have their voices heard at the ballot box. #ksleg

Today, Republican politicians’ harmful bill targeting LGBTQ+ Kansans passed in the Senate. @cindy4kansas stands up for the rights of Kansas youth to access safe, effective, necessary, and often life-saving gender-affirming care. #ksleg

"I thought it was a joke." @PatrickforKS calls out Republican politicians for passing tax cuts for millionaires with private jets instead of essential tax relief for ALL Kansans. #ksleg

Senator Schmidt asks, Where is the real property tax relief that republican politicians promised on the campaign trail? Instead, they are passing tax cuts for millionaires with private jets. #ksleg

The gender-affirming care ban that Senate Republicans advanced today tells LGBTQ Kansans they aren't welcome in our state. It's dangerous, it's wrong, and it goes against our Kansas values. Senate Democrats are proud to support Kansas families – ALL Kansas families. #ksleg
