KS-HD17: Kansas House District 17 candidates on the issues: Elections

The top issue for many Post readers remains candidates’ stances on the 2020 election, which former President Trump continues to claim without evidence was stolen from him. That has played out in Johnson County with a years-long and ultimately fruitless investigation by the current sheriff into local election procedures. Many of our readers express concern that that investigation has sown distrust in local elections. Do you believe President Biden won the 2020 election fair and square? Do you trust and have confidence in county and state election systems? If elected, would you support legislation that, in any way, would modify or place new restrictions on voting in Kansas?



Jo Ella Hoye (Democratic, incumbent)
The 2020 election was not stolen. President Biden won the 2020 election fair and square. I have confidence in our elections. I have not, and I will not, support legislation that makes it harder for Kansans to vote. It’s honestly hard for me to believe that we are still talking about this, but MAGA extremists just can’t let go.
