Cindy Holscher on Principles & Values

 

 


Bipartisanship: results instead of political theater

Q: With Republicans able to override your vetoes, what is your realistic strategy to actually pass your agenda--where would you compromise, and where would you hold firm?

A: Kansans expect results, not political theater. Throughout my time in the Legislature, I've worked with colleagues from both parties whenever it meant improving people's lives, and I'll continue to do that as governor. I helped found the Bipartisan Women's Caucus.

As the most successful Democrat in the Senate in regard to getting bills and initiatives implemented, I've been able to navigate the process to bring impactful change to Kansas. In fact, I am more successful than 90% of Senate Republicans. I know what it takes to bring people together to get things done--that's why I'm going to win this race and its what I will do as governor. But I won't compromise my values when it comes to corporate giveaways, attacks on public education, or policies that put billionaires and wealthy donors ahead of working families.

Object to Church forcing views on everyone with public money

Please know, I have no quarrel with members of the Catholic Church--or any church, for that matter. I do have a problem with a church using its outsize, top-heavy power structure to force its belief system on everyone while looking for government hand-outs to do it. And, guess what? Most of its rational members also have a problem with that.
