	Jeff Colyer on Principles & Values

Kansas is the Heart of America; make Kansas great again

[On gubernatorial campaign]: "Kansas is the Heart of America, and that partnership with the President, as he's trying to reassure jobs, you need a governor who is incredibly active, who knows how to bring those jobs to Kansas," Colyer said. "We need those manufacturing jobs here in Wichita, also in our small communities across the state. We can build those jobs. Let's take advantage of what the President is trying to do and make Kansas great again." Source: KAKE (ABC News) on 2026 Kansas Gubernatorial race , May 22, 2025

We do a disservice when we say our democracy at risk

Colyer, who wasn't endorsed by Trump in his 2018 gubernatorial race, said misguided politicians and their advocates were causing damage by asserting U.S. democracy was at risk due to the riot at the Capitol in 2021 following Trump's loss to President Joe Biden and due to ongoing efforts to undermine legitimacy of voting. "We really do a disservice to our democracy when we say we are truly at risk," Colyer said. "The system does respond. I trust the American people on this."
