Sharice Davids in Survey of 2018 House campaign websites
On Education:
Every student should have access to quality public education
Every student should have access to quality public education, regardless of their ZIP Code, ability, or special needs. I support implementing a holistic approach to education,
focusing on access to quality public options from pre-K through secondary higher education and promoting strong, skills-based training programs.

On Education:
Make higher education more affordable
I'm committed to making higher education more affordable, so our kids aren't graduating with crushing debt. I'm working to implement policies that encourage and facilitate the opportunity for higher education.
That's why I signed onto legislation to lower the cost of student loans and protect students from bad actors. We must also expose students to careers in trades and technical areas--skills that are vitally important to a robust economy.

On Energy & Oil:
Invest to combat the effects of climate change
I agree with the overwhelming majority of scientists who recognize that climate change is real, and that we must take action now to protect our planet for future generations.
That's why I voted for the Climate Action Now Act. It's essential that our country honors its commitment to work with the rest of the world to cut carbon pollution and address this global crisis together.
I'm a strong proponent of policies that encourage and increase the speed at which we shift to a system based on renewable energy. I'm working to create greater investment in Kansas' wind-production infrastructure.
We know that investing in durable, resilient infrastructure is an effective way to combat the effects of climate change, and I'm exploring that topic as a new member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

On Health Care:
Everyone should have access to affordable health care
Everyone should have access to quality, affordable health care. I'm dedicated to finding ways to lower the cost of health care and prescription drugs, strengthen and expand the ACA, protect those with pre-existing conditions,
and improve quality of care. I voted to rollback junk insurance plans that charge higher premiums for folks with pre-existing conditions, like asthma and diabetes.

On Jobs:
Voted to raise the federal minimum wage
Anyone who works hard and does everything right should be able to earn a decent living. I've voted to raise the federal minimum wage, which hasn't been increased in nearly a decade, and fought to ensure
Equal Pay for Equal Work. I also voted to shore up worker pensions, repeal the Cadillac tax on health care plans, and protect the right to organize. ?

On Technology:
Develop roadways, airports, railways, water infrastructure
As a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I'm working in a bipartisan way to bring much needed economic development to our roadways, airports, railways, local water
infrastructure, and more. I've made it a priority to advocate for our local needs, bringing the Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to our district to see Kansas projects in person.

On Government Reform:
Petition Dept. of Justice to investigate voting complaints
Davids introduced The Count the Vote Act to expand and protect voting rights by giving people the right to petition the Department of Justice to investigate voting complaints. "Kansans have experienced repeated instances
of voter disenfranchisement--from laws pushed by Kris Kobach intended to make it harder for people to vote, to polling places being moved a mile out of town."

On Homeland Security:
Help veterans transition skills from service to business
I've worked to help veterans transition their skills from service to business through my bill, the SERV Act. This bipartisan legislation helps veteran entrepreneurs succeed by examining the barriers they face,
including lack of access to credit, and by increasing promotion of small business programs available to veterans. I voted to pass legislation that addresses the veteran suicide crisis, as well as veterans experiencing homelessness.
