Jeff Colyer in 2022 KS Governor's race


On Government Reform: For new Constitutional convention to limit federal power

The current resolution would call a convention with the purpose of proposing amendments that impose limits on the federal government. Colyer spoke at the rally, advocating for states to reclaim their power and the power of the people. "We've seen big increase from the federal side, trillions of dollars being spent, big overreaches on the rights of individuals," Dr. Colyer told Kansas' Capitol Bureau. "We have to go and return those opportunities to the states."

On Government Reform: Supported Texas challenge to 2020 presidential election

Colyer was calling on Kansas to stand alongside their Texan counterparts almost as soon as the lawsuit was filed. "By an overwhelming margin, Kansas voters supported President Trump," Colyer tweeted. "A threat to election security anywhere is a threat to election security everywhere. To protect our voice, Kansas needs to be in this fight."
