Six priorities for the next Governor and Lt. Governor of Kansas—built from what works, and scaled for every community from Overland Park to Fredonia and beyond.
Curt Skoog and Dr. Jennifer Bacani McKenney are running on a simple idea: communities thrive when leaders listen to residents, tackle hard problems honestly, and find common ground instead of picking fights.
As Mayor of Overland Park, Curt has helped build one of the most prosperous cities in the country by focusing on results over rhetoric. As a Fredonia physician, business owner, and longtime school board member, Jen knows small-town Kansas from every angle. Together, their plan brings both of those experiences to bear for the whole state.
Strong communities are built on the essentials—a place to live, good schools, care when you need it, and a real shot at a good job.
We'll keep the focus where it belongs: on the everyday foundations that let families put down roots and businesses grow.
No Kansan should lose their local hospital—or go without care—because of where they live.
Dr. McKenney has spent her career keeping a rural community healthy. That frontline experience shapes a plan to strengthen care everywhere in Kansas.
Rural Kansas isn't a problem to manage—it's a strength to build on.
Every small town has its own assets and shared values. Good policy helps each one play to its strengths.
Solve today's challenges, and Kansas becomes the place where tomorrow's jobs are created.
Making honest progress on issues like water and education funding is how we build a business-friendly state that attracts investment and talent.
Every Kansan deserves an equal voice and an equal vote—no matter their zip code.
The strength of Kansas is its people. We'll set aside the divisive games and focus on the work of governing together.
Whether you live here, work here, or are just passing through—you belong in Kansas.
Our communities are built on shared values and a genuine pride in who we are. Diversity and strong immigrant stories are part of that strength.
THRIVE Kansas isn't a wish list—it's the same focus on results that's made Overland Park one of the best places to live in America.
