The Colyer Commitment to Kansas

Pillar 01

Lower Costs.
Higher Pay.

We will put more money in your pocket by creating better-paying jobs. Kansas will be a high-wage, low-tax state, with a real lid on property taxes you can count on.

Pillar 02

Safer
Communities.

We will protect our neighborhoods by supporting law enforcement, strengthening sentencing for violent criminals, and securing our communities from the fentanyl crisis and illegal immigration.

Pillar 03

Freedom
to Thrive.

We will empower parents, expand school choice, defend the unborn, and protect every Kansan's constitutional rights — including the Second Amendment and religious liberty.

Pillar 04

Healthy
Rural Kansas.

As the nation's leading voice on rural health, Governor Colyer will deliver the care and hospitals our small towns deserve — and keep Kansans healthy close to home.

Pillar 05

Honest, Accountable Government.

We will cut waste, shrink bureaucracy, and make state government work for you — not the other way around. Every Kansan deserves a government that is transparent, efficient, and honest.

Governor Jeff Colyer, M.D.

Meet Kansas’ 47th Governor
(& lord-willing 49th)
Jeff Colyer, M.D.

Faith and Family First.

Jeff Colyer is a world-renowned plastic and craniofacial surgeon who has treated over 20,000 patients and volunteered in more than 25 war zones — including serving as the only surgeon in southern Rwanda during the genocide. His work was featured in a 60 Minutes segment narrated by Christiane Amanpour.

As Kansas's 47th Governor, Colyer balanced the budget with an $800 million surplus — without raising taxes. He privatized Medicaid through KanCare, making Kansas the first state to do so, and was appointed by President Trump to chair the National Advisory Commission on Rural Health.
