Real Accountability.

Common-sense Relief.


Bringing technical competence and fiscal responsibility to Topeka.

Fixing what’s broken in state government requires problem solvers who will dig into complex systems, ask tough questions, and put working families first. I am running for State representative to tackle the key issues driving up our cost of living. By capping property tax assessments, introducing energy grid competition, and stopping mass road surveillance, I am focused on practical results that make life more affordable and secure for our community.

  • For too long, rapid property tax valuation spikes have forced seniors on fixed incomes and working families to bear the burden of unchecked local spending. It’s time for common-sense caps, local spending restraint, and a clear roadmap to permanent tax relief.

    1. ​Cap Valuation Spikes
      Unpredictable valuation increases act like an automatic tax hike, even when local mill levies stay flat. Scott supports capping annual assessment increases to prevent sudden, overwhelming tax hikes on homeowners.  

    2. Senior & Fixed-Income Tax Freeze

      ​No neighbor who has paid into our community for decades should be priced out of their home. Scott advocates for freezing property tax rates for qualified retirees and low-income seniors.  

    3. Assessment Reform & Fairness

      ​Shift property assessments from volatile "fair-market" projections toward a practical replacement-value model. Additionally, multi-home investment properties and corporate-owned housing should be assessed fairly rather than benefiting from residential tax breaks.  

    4. Accountability for Corporate Incentives

      ​When large developments receive tax abatements, local homeowners end up making up the difference. Scott will enforce strict clawback provisions on corporate incentives that fail to deliver promised community benefits.  

  • Utility bills shouldn't feel like a second mortgage. By introducing free-market competition, ending corporate rate subsidies, and embracing next-generation power generation, we can lower electric bills and create high-tech jobs right here in Johnson County.

    1. Hold Utility Regulators Accountable
      State regulators must prioritize consumers over monopoly interests. I will fight to end unfair rate hikes that shield large energy cartels at the expense of residential ratepayers.  

    2. Open the Grid to True Competition

      ​Monopolies thrive when competition is blocked. By modernizing Kansas energy laws and allowing open transmission access for clean, low-cost power providers, we can harness market forces to drive down prices.  

    3. Support Next-Generation Energy Infrastructure

      ​To secure long-term price stability and grid reliability, Kansas must expand investment in advanced nuclear and next-generation power sources. This approach lowers long-term utility costs while positioning our region as a leader in technical energy jobs.  

    4. Protect Small Businesses & Households

      ​Commercial utility surcharges and residential rate spikes put an unfair strain on local employers and families. my technical background gives me the tools to audit complex utility rate cases and demand transparency.

  • Driving down the street shouldn't automatically enter your location into a mass database. We can keep our neighborhoods safe while fiercely protecting our constitutional rights against warrantless surveillance.

    1. Eliminate Warrantless License-Plate Tracking

      ​Automated license-plate reader (Flock) camera networks record the movements of law-abiding drivers without a warrant or reasonable suspicion. I support prohibiting mass, automated surveillance systems on public roads.  

    2. Refocus Resources on Constitutional Law Enforcement

      ​Automated surveillance is no replacement for visible, community-centered policing. Tax dollars spent on maintaining private surveillance networks should be redirected to support constitutional, local police officers who build real community trust.  

    3. Strict State Data Privacy & Financial Audits

      ​From state agencies to local municipalities, taxpayer data must be protected. I will mandate strict data retention limits for government entities and push for full financial audits of all state programs to eliminate waste and protect personal privacy.  

  • “As seniors living on a fixed income in Merriam, watching our property assesments shoot up every single year has been terrifying. Scott is the first candidate who talks about actual, practical solutions - like capping valuations and freezing rates for retirees - instead of repeating empty campaign slogans."

    -- Elanor and Frank R., Dist 24

  • “I appreciate Scott’s focus on constitutional privacy. You shouldn't have your daily routines tracked by automated license plate readers just to run errands. Scott shows that you can back local law enforcement while still standing up for civil liberties."

    — David K., Shawnee Resident & Veteran

  • "Between supply chain inflation and our rising monthly electric bills, keeping our small business overhead manageable is getting harder every month. Scott’s technical background means he actually understands rate cases and utility grid competition. We need his practical problem-solving in Topeka."

    — Marcus T., Local Small Business Owner
