Thank you for reaching out to me! I’m very supportive of teachers (my mom is a teacher) and find teaching to be the most important job in the world! I’ll make sure that teachers can still have bargaining rights, etc. and I’d like to protect education funding. You mentioned Colorado paying teachers more, I’m waiting to get funding information regarding Colorado spending per pupil as various reports show Kansas spending more per pupil than Colorado.

In regards to your claim about jobs, Kansas’ unemployment rate has gone down since Brownback took office. We have lost Boeing, etc. but other aviation companies have hired more people as well as other sectors.

Please keep in contact with me.

For Kansas,

Michael O'Donnell
