KAY STANDS FOR...
Missouri values. Values like pitching in to get the job done, working together to improve the community, keeping your word, and taking responsibility for your actions - these are the values Kay learned growing up in St. Joseph, and that she taught to her own children.
A real energy policy. A balanced approach to expanding renewable energy sources and increasing the supply of American energy is the only way to provide consumers relief from high gas prices and achieve energy independence.
Strengthening the economy. Working middle class families and small businesses have made our country the strongest in the world, and we should provide them relief to promote a healthy growing economy.
Securing our borders. The United States must enhance its border security and hold employers accountable for breaking the law to ensure national and economic security for all Americans.
Paying down our national debt. Washington has a responsibility to take spending seriously and reduce wasteful spending, but it has failed miserably.
Affordable, high quality health care. We must make sure the health care system works for all Americans by strengthening programs like Medicare and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) instead of giving taxpayer-funded windfall profits to big drug companies.
Fulfilling our promises to veterans and soldiers. Our veterans and soldiers are true American heroes, and we must ensure they are taken care of while deployed and after they have returned.
Protecting citizens and their rights. Congress must uphold the Constitution by protecting the safety and security of the United States and ensuring the rights of all Americans, such as the right to bear arms.
Keeping America competitive. We need to keep the American Dream alive by preparing our young people to succeed in today's world, and we must start by fixing Washington's broken education laws.
Honesty and accountability. We must hold our politicians accountable, not only for what they say, but for what they do.
