Ed Young - Kansas House District 27 - Why He’s Running

Ed Young is running for Kansas House District 27 in the August 4th Democratic Primary.Young explains that he decided to run after seeing that no one else had filed in the district and after becoming frustrated with his current representative’s approach to schools and local government. He discusses House Bill 2299, the statewide cellphone policy issue, Blue Valley’s estimated implementation cost, and why he believes schools need local plans rather than one-size-fits-all mandates from the Legislature. He also draws on his background as a first responder, police officer, firefighter, and workforce development center director to explain why school safety and communication policies should be handled carefully at the local level.See the full interview on Kansas Helen Substack and learn more about the Kansas House District 27 Democratic primary here:www.kansashelen.comYou can now also watch on Kansas Helen YouTube or listen on the Kansas Helen Podcast on Apple and Spotify.#Kansas #2026elections #2026Primary #ksleg #Vote Get full access to Kansas Helen at kansashelen.substack.com/subscribe
