Fred-- I agree. John Brown is no hero of mine, but for me this is an iconic Kansas image-- and I hope to get to see it at work every day.

Mary-- Me, too. I love the tornado-green sky behind John Brown and his alpha and omega Bible. It's a real honor to get to work for the people of Kansas in the halls where this image lives.

I can understand why people would not think John Brown a hero, if all they have ever heard about him is the half truths, distortions, and outright lies that have been handed down to us from those who had an ax to grind against him for bringing on the Civil War and thereby ending slavery in the United States, but hearing only one side of a story, and a severely distorted one at that is not how educated people should make up their minds about such a complex person. Give him a fair hearing by reading a good modern biography of him that treats the truth of his life with more respect, or come see me in one of my portrayals of him to expand your understanding and challenge your prejudice.

If you are interested in how Kansas candidates stand on medical marijuana, Bleeding Kansas Advocates has compiled survey responses at the link below. You can see my responses by clicking on the link and scrolling down to District 46. The Reader's Digest version is that I support full legalization of marijuana, but in the meantime I am generally supportive of legalizing the medical use of marijuana as set out in the Kansas Safe Access Act. https://www.bksadvocates.org/2016-voter-guide

These are some of the things I intend to work on in the legislature next year:
1. Robocalls. In 2017 I introduced a bill that would ban most commercial robocalls in Kansas. It passed the House almost unanimously, but died in a Senate committee last year. I plan to reintroduce it in 2019.
2. College savings accounts. Last year I introduced a bill that would create a college savings account at birth for every child born in Kansas. Research at KU shows that a program of this type can double a child's chances of going to college. We got an informational hearing last year, and I am optimistic that I can get bipartisan support for passage next year.
3. House rules. Rules aren't sexy, but they make an enormous difference in how things work at the legislature. I have initiated a comprehensive package of rules changes that will make the House much more transparent and democratic, and I am hopeful that we can find bipartisan support for most of them.
If you would like more information about any of these projects, please contact me by FB message, at boog.highberger@house.ks.gov, or 785-424-3262.

Any plans to reintroduce some logical gun control initiatives?

That second proposal is actually very consistent with former conservative legislators in Kansas. Ray Hiner from KU researched open enrollment in KS and found that it was supported in part as an incentive to get kids to finish high school. Your western countries colleagues might understand that thinking for a savings account.
