Surprised you’re not endorsing the pro-life Dem in Kansas

Oh man. This was a while ago. I'll make an updated one tonight

Oh man. This was a while ago. I'll make an updated one tonight

Fwiw, there's also several other pro-life Democrats running in other states as well in both 2018 and 2019 (Sutton in SD, Krist in NE, and Hood in MS), which I'm particularly interested in seeing since I think the party needs more ideological diversity.

I think both parties could use more ideological diversity.

What are some of Maddox's policies, specifically economic?

He's basically running on a platform of healthcare, education, and infrastructure. The core aspect of his healthcare proposal is expanding Medicaid. He also wants to establish a state lottery, with most of the funds benefiting public schools. Also, he believes that greatly improving the state's dilapidated infrastructure will make the state appeal to businesses looking to expand.
