Kansans work hard, but Washington isn’t working for them.

Prices keep going up — at the store, the gas pump, and the doctor’s office. Families are paying more but not earning more.

Chris Carmichael believes the basics shouldn’t break the bank.

Here’s how he’ll lower costs:

• Roll back tariffs that drive up the cost of goods and materials

• Increase competition and take on monopolies that keep prices high

• Strengthen supply chains so Kansas businesses can grow and hire locally

Chris will focus on practical solutions that bring prices down and put more money back in your pocket.

Healthcare is not a luxury it’s a basic need.

Right now, families are paying high premiums and high deductibles — and still struggling to get care.

Chris believes health care should put patients first — not profits.

Chris believes every Kansan should be able to see a doctor, afford their medicine, and get care when they need it.

Chris will bring costs down by:

• Letting Medicare negotiate directly with drug companies

• Taking on monopolies and increasing competition to lower prices

• Reforming pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and requiring real price transparency

• Protecting and strengthening rural hospitals so care stays close to home

Healthcare should be affordable, simple, and available when you need it. I will fight for a universal healthcare system.

Every American has the right to choose when to start a family. 

The ongoing attacks on women's reproductive rights must come to an end. 

Kansas voters have spoken, and the Kansas Supreme Court has spoken:  Bodily autonomy is a Kansas constitutional right.

This is a right that should be enjoyed by all Americans.

Decisions about reproductive care, including abortion care, should be between individuals, their families, and their doctors.  

Congress should keep their hands off women's bodies!

Artificial intelligence is changing how we work and how our economy runs. It can create opportunity — but without rules, it can replace jobs, raise energy costs, strain our power grid, use too much water, and put corporate profits ahead of Kansas families.

Chris believes we should lead in new technology, but not at the expense of Kansas workers, ratepayers, farmers, or natural resources.

Chris will:

Set clear, common-sense rules on AI to protect jobs, privacy, and consumers

• Hold big tech companies accountable so they don’t replace workers just to boost profits

• Invest in job training so Kansas workers can succeed in a changing economy

• Oppose data center projects that drain Kansas water, overload our power grid, raise utility bills, or demand unfair tax breaks

• Require strong energy and water-use standards for AI and data centers before they receive public support

• Support American-made clean energy that creates Kansas jobs without driving up costs or pollution

• Protect personal data so Kansans’ private information is not misused

Technology should work for people, strengthen our economy, and protect the land we pass on to the next generation.

A personal message from Chris Carmichael:

“During my 31 years in the military, I was proud to serve side-by-side with LGBTQ troops every day. They serve our nation with dignity and honor. Their professionalism, courage, and patriotism are beyond question.

“I thought ‘Don't Ask Don't Tell’ was ridiculous the day in 1993 when it passed; it was a great day for America when Obama in 2011 signed the repeal. Under Trump, though, LGBTQ soldiers, sailors, and airmen are once again being forced into the closet.

“Worse, President Trump and his ally in Congress, Ron Estes, are forcing transgender troops out of the armed forces, destroying careers, damaging readiness, and breaking Trump's promise to let transgender Americans continue to serve with honor.

“As your congressman, I will fight for your rights. Every American should have the honor and privilege to volunteer to serve their country. Patriotism is for all of us.”

Buying a home is getting out of reach for too many Kansas families.

The problem isn’t just demand — it’s the rising cost to build and a lack of affordable homes.

Chris will help bring housing costs down by:

• Rolling back tariffs that increase the cost of building materials

• Making it easier to build affordable homes — not just high-end housing

• Supporting tax relief that helps families stay in their homes

• Pushing back on practices that drive up prices and limit access to homeownership

Everyone deserves a fair shot at owning a home.

You worked hard and paid into Social Security. You earned it.

Chris Carmichael will protect Social Security for today’s seniors and future retirees. He will oppose raising the retirement age to 70, oppose cuts, and oppose privatizing Social Security by tying it to the stock market.

Chris will fight to:

• Keep Social Security strong and fully funded

• Stop Congress from using Social Security money for other spending

• Make wealthy earners pay their fair share into the system

• Protect cost-of-living increases so benefits keep up with inflation

• Make sure seniors can retire with dignity, stability, and peace of mind

Social Security is not welfare. It is a promise workers paid for — and Chris will keep that promise.

After more than 30 years in uniform, Chris knows what service means.

Too many veterans still struggle to access the care and benefits they’ve earned.

Chris will:

• Protect VA funding and improve access to care across Kansas

• Cut red tape so veterans can get help faster

• Expand access to mental health services and job training

No veteran should be left behind.

Chris Carmichael has spent his life defending freedom.

He believes our rights belong to the people.

In Congress, Chris will:

• Protect free speech and constitutional rights

• Keep government accountable and transparent

• Respect the rule of law and individual freedoms

Government should work for the people — not the other way around.

Family farms are the backbone of Kansas — but they’re under pressure.

Costs for equipment, fuel, and fertilizer keep rising, while crop prices struggle to keep up.

Right now, global instability is making things worse. The war involving Iran has disrupted key supply routes for fertilizer, driving prices up and putting even more strain on farmers.

At the same time, tariffs and trade policies have raised the cost of equipment and limited access to markets.

Chris will fight for family farmers by:

• Rolling back tariffs that raise the cost of equipment and inputs

• Strengthening supply chains so farmers aren’t hit by global disruptions

• Supporting fair markets and taking on monopolies that squeeze farmers

• Expanding access to markets so Kansas farmers can compete and grow

Kansas farmers deserve a fair shot — not a system stacked against them.
