Issues

For 40 years, Mike Thompson enjoyed talking to people about the weather, providing facts and information and warning them about dangerous conditions. Now, an unrelenting storm of higher taxes and spending increases threatens to leave Kansas behind the rest of the nation in terms of economic prosperity and quality job growth. For Kansans to feel confident about their economic future and the security of their pocketbook, these skies must clear, and that means a legislature that is firmly on the side of the people who pay the bills.

For the last five years in the Kansas Senate, Mike has worked hard to uphold the core Republican principles of limited government, individual liberty, free enterprise, and traditional values.

He looks forward to speaking with you at your doorstep as he works to earn the support of voters in Shawnee, Lenexa, and Lake Quivira in the next few months. Mike’s priorities include:

To help families burdened by inflation, Mike voted to:

  • Lower property taxes and reform our appraisal system
  • Simplify and reduce income taxes on families
  • Repeal the state sales tax on food
