As a MAGA conservative running for Governor of Kansas in 2026, I am committed to making Kansas the sixth state to recognize gold and silver as legal tender, a bold step to restore economic sovereignty, protect against inflation, and uphold constitutional principles. This policy will empower Kansans to use precious metals in everyday transactions, fostering financial independence and positioning Kansas as a national leader in sound money. Rooted in Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, which reserves to states the power to recognize gold and silver as currency, this initiative aligns with our shared values of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and economic freedom. Why Sound Money Matters. Gold and Silver are the Biblical standard for currency.

The federal fiat currency system, unbacked by tangible assets, has fueled inflation, eroded savings, and left Kansans vulnerable to economic instability. By 2025, inflation continues to strain household budgets, with the Consumer Price Index rising steadily. Gold and silver, historically stable stores of value, offer a hedge against this erosion. States like Missouri (2025), Louisiana, and West Virginia have already embraced this model, proving its viability. Kansas can join them, creating a robust economy that empowers citizens, protects wealth, and reduces dependence on volatile federal currency.

First 100 Days (January – April 2027): Introduce the “Kansas Sound Money Act” to grant gold and silver legal tender status, eliminate taxes on precious metals transactions, and establish a state-approved depository framework. Engage legislators and the public through hearings to build support.

Year 1 (2027): Pass the Act by June 2027, leveraging my electoral mandate and bipartisan interest. Sign the law and form a task force to develop regulations for valuation and depository partnerships. Launch a public education campaign to prepare Kansans for the transition.

Year 2 (2028): Finalize regulations and partner with an IRS-approved depository. Begin pilot programs in select counties to test the system, ensuring smooth integration with existing financial systems. Enable gold and silver transactions statewide by late 2028.

Year 3 (2029): Expand depository access and refine the law based on pilot program data. Advocate nationally with other sound money states to influence federal policy, aligning with MAGA goals of reducing federal overreach.

Year 4 (2030): Solidify the policy’s success with reports showcasing economic benefits, such as reduced inflation impact and increased savings. Launch a “Kansas Gold Standard” branding campaign to attract businesses and residents.

Join the Movement!
As your Governor, I will champion the Kansas Sound Money Act to restore economic freedom and protect your financial future. Together, we can make Kansas a beacon of prosperity and constitutional integrity. Vote for sound money in the Primary Election next August, 2026.
Believe it?
For Kansas!
Cheers,
