Commitment:

YOU are what matters! As your representative I will work to promote tax cuts for businesses and individuals to give our state the economic growth it needs. Our property values keep getting lower but our taxes get higher. Being a taxpayer in Bourbon and Linn County I will strive to keep our property taxes low. Our state government is out of control in their spending; and there needs to be reform to ensure transparency and accountability. I will seek to alleviate intrusion of mandates and controls by the Federal Government upon our State.

I pushed for the 10th Amendment Sovereignty Act in Kansas and am proactive in the Kansas Health Care Freedom Act which will protect our rights from Federal Government mandates and controls. We are losing our rights and freedoms everyday and I am committed to turn that around and bring our country back to the traditional values of what our founding fathers had intended when they created the Constitution. What our government needs is YOUR CUP OF TEA. As State Representative I will make YOUR voices heard. I ask you to choose me to share that cup of tea and to show our government what they truly need.

Meet Renee

Raised in Kansas I learned work ethics at an early age. Working part time after school was expected of me, and after graduation from high school I entered the workforce at SWB/AT&T. Working various jobs as an occupational employee and advancing to Project Manager I retired from AT&T in 2000. My husband Don and I raised two children and now we have four adorable grandchildren. We will celebrate our 40th Anniversary this year.

I earned my Bachelors of Business Administration and my Masters in Management from
Baker University. After retirement I attended SW Missouri Allied Health and earned my Registry in Diagnostic Medical Sonography where I worked in various hospitals and imaging centers. Don and I own a small business that has been in operation since 1979.

As taxpayer in Bourbon and Linn County I am concerned about where our tax dollars are going. I am very passionate about lowering the taxes and spending in our Federal and State Government. Please help me take our Country back to where “We The People” control our State and Federal Government by voting for me as your State Representative. Thank you for your support.
