Prasanth Reddy Called Out for Lacking Real Solutions for Kansans

In a recent interview with KSHB41 News, Representative Sharice Davids underscored her commitment to addressing the issues impacting Kansans most, including lowering costs, protecting reproductive rights, improving health care access, and enhancing border security and fighting the fentanyl crisis. Davids explained these priorities are grounded in her commitment to serving Kansans’ best interests over partisan politics.

The segment highlights Davids’ willingness to “stray from many in her own party” to achieve results that benefit all Kansans, while noting that Reddy “did not provide more insight on how to implement his ideas.” His ongoing refusal to elaborate on his extreme agenda leaves Kansas voters with little understanding of how he’d address critical issues.

Cost of living and the economy

• “Some of the key provisions I was most proud of were things like the $35 cap a month for folks on medicare on insulin. Insulin is something so many people depend on,” Davids said.
• “If it takes longer for ships to be able to unload their materials and get them onto railroads, then make their way out to Kansas City, that’s going to raise prices. If we’re not investing in the infrastructure systems it makes [food] more expensive,” Davids said.

Fentanyl crisis and the border

• Fentanyl has affected many communities in Kansas. It’s an issue Davids has stated is a critical priority. “That’s why I voted for more border patrol agents,” Davids said.
• Davids’ stance on immigration strays from many within her own party who don’t support funding border security measures. “We can secure our border and treat people with dignity and respect and in a humane way. We can also put efforts into things like technologies and people power that we need to stop fentanyl,” Davids said.

Abortion rights

• “I will always fight to make sure that we don’t have politicians interfering in our health care decisions, reproductive health care or otherwise,” Davids said.
