Key Issues                           

Tax relief

Rep. Donohoe is working hard to limit the growth of government and the rise of excessive

property taxes and levies. Hard-working families fear being taxed out of their homes;
Owen will fight for legislation and policies that let you keep more of what you earn.

Bruce Breslow is the owner of a local family business, who is concerned with tax relief.

He is helping small businesses thrive in Kansas, creating a greater revenue-producing

economy that will help reduce taxes. See updates on tax relief from the latest session.

Lawful treatment of illegal immigrants

By treating people with dignity and respect, we show compassion and understanding. But entering America illegally and breaking the law encourages disrespect for our laws. Rep. Donohe opposes in-state tuition for illegal immigrants and favors increased U.S. border security.

Property rights

Rep. Donohoe is a member of the House Economic Development and Tourism Committee and is involved in many issues affecting local residents and businesses. Eminent domain threatens generations of families and businesses in our district. Government should not have the right to seize other people's property to lure favored developers.

Quality education

As a member of the House Education Committee, Rep. Donohoe is helping to ensure that our students get the classroom attention they deserve, and hard-working teachers are rewarded. At-risk students need to have new opportunities to excel. Teachers, parents and taxpayers should have more visibility and local control over how tax dollars are being spent.

Ethical stem-cell research

As a kidney transplant recipient himself, Owen understands the importance of lifesaving cures and treatments. He also knows the risks and rewards of medical research, and that we cannot allow research to come at the expense of human life. Rep. Donohoe is pro-life and against human cloning (SCNT*).
