Republicans and Democrats alike have supported the use of tax incentives to help first time home buyers. By creating new tax credits for young families looking to buy a home for the first time – as well as public servants like firefighters, police officers, and teachers – we can open up the dream of home ownership to more Kansas who have been priced out of the market. - Stop anticompetitive price collusion from landlords, including the use of algorithmic pricing designed specifically to reduce competition and drive up rent for tenants.Campaign website, August 4, 2026
