Vote Mark HERMES November 3, 2026 YOUR VOICE MY VOTE in Topeka - PERIOD! Representing the residence and voters. Bipartisan and independent candidate. Faith Family Freedom.
LIVING ON LESS (LOL) is NOT a solution to AFFORABILITY in Kansas. Vote trusted or new leadership to produce results in affordability. Not LOL or LMAO by current elected representation raising taxes, misuing taxes, and devaluing the dollar. Everyone that supports raising taxes and receiving misuse of taxes is voting. EVERYONE VOTE to RESTORE AFFORDABILITY in Kansas. Choose wisely! A new survey found Kansans ranked number one in the nation to be in financial distress based on credit score, credit accounts in distress, and change in bankruptcy filings. LOL is NOT a solution, trusted or new leadership for Kansas is. LOL is required to survive until reduced cost of government (COG) by trusted or new Kansas leadership. LOL created by COG. Decrease COG to improve affordability.
