Health careNo. 02/14

Federal premium subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace plans should be expanded.

Background

These subsidies lower the monthly cost of health plans bought on HealthCare.gov and state marketplaces. Expanding them would lower premiums for more buyers and increase federal spending.

Adam Hamilton Agree

There are 51,000 Kansans who had health care a year and a half ago, and they don't have it anymore. That's a direct result of a vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill to leave out subsidies and to eliminate a trillion dollars' worth [of Medicaid].

ImmigrationNo. 03/14

Congress should fund more physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Background

This would pay for additional fencing or wall along the southern border. It concerns construction funding, not other kinds of border enforcement.

It's past time that we finish building the border wall, and what better way to do it than with the unused COVID-19 slush fund to help President Trump seal the border?

GunsNo. 04/14

Federal law should require background checks for all gun sales, including private sales.

Background

Federal law requires background checks for sales by licensed dealers but not for most sales between private individuals. This would extend the requirement to private sales.

AbortionNo. 05/14

Abortion laws should be set by each state rather than by Congress.

Background

Since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision, each state sets its own abortion laws. Agreeing means Congress should not pass a national law that either expands or restricts access.

Adam Hamilton Disagree

I don't believe that the Kansas Legislature should be making that decision for women in our state. Neither should the United States Senate or House.

EconomyNo. 07/14

The U.S. should keep broad tariffs on imported goods.

Background

Tariffs are taxes paid on imported goods. Since 2025 the U.S. has applied tariffs to imports from most countries, and this statement is about keeping them in place.

Adam Hamilton Disagree

The tariffs are a disaster for everyone across the state of Kansas

Energy and climateNo. 10/14

Large data centers should pay the full cost of new power plants and grid upgrades built to serve them.

Background

Utilities often spread the cost of new power plants and transmission lines across all their customers. This would charge the cost of capacity built for large data centers, many of them serving artificial intelligence, to those data centers.

Adam Hamilton Agree

If you're a data center, you should pay your own way. A data center's water can't come at the expense of a town's drinking water or a farmer's irrigation, and it can't show up as a higher bill for the family next door.

Foreign policyNo. 11/14

The U.S. should keep high tariffs on goods imported from China.

Background

Tariffs on many Chinese imports were raised in 2018 and again in 2025. Keeping them high continues those import taxes; lowering them would reduce costs for U.S. importers and buyers.

Adam Hamilton Disagree

I'll fight to end the tariffs, end the war in Iran, and bring costs down. – AH

Health careNo. 12/14

Medicare should be allowed to negotiate prices for more prescription drugs.

Background

Since 2022, Medicare may negotiate the prices of a limited number of high-cost drugs each year. This would widen that power to more drugs.

Adam would expand the number of negotiated drugs, speed up the timeline, and extend negotiated prices to private plans

The federal government should help pay for child care for working families.

Background
