Meagan Rico - Kansas House District 69 - One More Penny

Meagan Rico is running for Kansas House District 69 in the August 4th Democratic Primary. Kansas House District 69 is in Saline County. It includes the southern portion of Salina and runs from Brookville to Gypsum.When asked whether she knows what it is like to not have one more penny, Rico says she absolutely does. She talks about experiencing financial struggle as a child, as a nursing student, and later as a single mother trying to reenter the workforce.The conversation also turns to local tax decisions and fixed-income seniors. Rico says even a small increase, like $20 more a year, matters to someone who may only have $50 left at the end of the month for toiletries and basic needs.See the full interview on Kansas Helen Substack and learn more about the Kansas House District 69 Democratic primary here:https://kansashelen.substack.com/s/kansas-houseYou can now also watch on Kansas Helen YouTube or listen on the Kansas Helen Podcast on Apple and Spotify.Reminder: Vote NO on Amendment 1: Elections for Supreme Court Justices.For more information, visit:https://protectkansasrights.org/#Kansas #2026elections #2026Primary #ksleg #Vote Get full access to Kansas Helen at kansashelen.substack.com/subscribe
