Taylor Moreland - Kansas House 7 - Why She is Running

Taylor Moreland is running for Kansas House District 7, representing parts of Labette County including Parsons and Neosho County including parts of Chanute.Moreland explains that her decision to run is driven by frustration with the increasingly toxic nature of political culture. She discusses how partisan conflict has shifted away from problem solving and toward personal attacks, despite people ultimately wanting many of the same outcomes. She emphasizes the need to move away from division and refocus on working together to serve communities.She also highlights her experience running a nonprofit focused on community advocacy, where she regularly works with people she may not agree with politically. She describes this work as centered on listening, collaboration, and finding common ground, which she sees as directly preparing her to represent the district. Moreland frames accessibility and accountability as rooted in that same approach, emphasizing the importance of engaging with all constituents, not just those who support her.See the full interview on Kansas Helen Substack and learn more about Kansas House District 7.
