Restoring Trust in Governance: A Leadership Experiment

• In Event: From Despair to Hope: Prophetic Leadership in Turbulent Times

Short Description

In 2016, an unlikely coalition of Republicans and Democrats ousted legislators who supported tax cuts that gutted spending on infrastructure and public schools. In this more conducive political environment, one candidate for governor in 2018 wants to tap into Kansans’ willingness to solve difficult problems together to make progress for the common good and restore trust in democratic governance.
