Property Taxes
The next several questions deal with property tax reform in Kansas. It's important to remember that the property tax levies are assessed almost exclusively on the local level, as even the 20 mills the state assesses are simply a pass through for K-12 public education. However, the state can set parameters to reform the system in how they are assessed.

*2.Do you support a constitutional cap on annual taxable property valuation increases? (Typically 3 or 4%)(Required.)

Yes

No

Not Sure

3.Making it harder for local government to raise property taxes. As noted, local governments control the mill levy.

Would you favor reforms that would require local governments (like a city council) to obtain a supermajority in order to exceed the revenue-neutral mill levy rate?

Yes

No

Mixed

4.Similarly, would you favor reforms that would require a vote of the people for a local government to raise the mill levy?

Yes

No

5.Do you favor electing, rather than appointing, county appraisers? (Approximately half the states elect them.)

Yes

No

Not Sure

6.Do you favor giving Kansans a rebate on property taxes if their home sells for less than it was appraised for?

Yes

No

Not sure

7.Would you favor exploring ways to eliminate property taxes altogether, like Florida is attempting to do?

Yes

No

Not Sure

Other Questions
Below are several other questions regarding issues likely to come up during the 2026 session.

8.Affordable Home Ownership. Which of the following options do you support towards promoting more affordable homes? (Check all that apply)

Eliminating red tape and other local rules, like lot size minimums, that prevent the building of starter homes.

Banning large corporations from buying homes and artificially inflating the market.

Preserving land, especially in land-locked cities like Shawnee, for single-family homes rather than large apartment complexes and mixed-use developments.

Other (please specify)

9.Corporate Welfare. What view best represents your view regarding how the state should handle incentives for developers and businesses?

I disagree with the term corporate welfare, and support business incentives like STAR Bonds at the state level and TIFs and CIDs at the local level.

I favor tightening the rules regarding incentives, but support retaining programs for large projects like Panasonic.

I am fine with incentives as long as they are accessible by all businesses in Kansas, not just certain "winners" that politicians pick.

I favor banning all corporate welfare at the state and local level.

10.Redistricting. Several states - both red and blue - are undergoing redistricting efforts. Do you favor Kansas doing the same?

Yes

No

Not Sure

11.Banning Cell Phones In Schools. Do you favor banning students from using cell phones during class time in schools, with certain exceptions?

NYes

No

Not Sure
