The press conference kicked off their Next Generation Kansas Tour, a statewide effort to introduce Duxler to voters. Duxler will make stops in Sedgwick, Saline, Johnson, and Crawford counties as part of the tour.
“Renee understands that government decisions are not abstract debates. They shape whether families can afford care, whether kids have strong schools, and whether working people have a real shot at getting ahead,” said Corson. “She’s the kind of leader who has seen both the consequences of failure and the power of effective leadership. Her experiences give her a perspective rooted in compassion and accountability. That makes her an exceptional choice for lieutenant governor.”
“I’m honored to join this ticket,” said Renee Duxler. “Not just as Ethan’s running mate, but as someone who shares his belief that Kansas is at its best when we meet this moment in our state’s history not with fear, but with hope. Not with the same old politics, but with the courage to build something better together.”
