Representative Stephen Owens announces his Candidacy for Senate
Today, I am announcing my intention to run for the Kansas Senate in the 31st District during the 2024 election cycle. It is time for our conservative priorities to once again return to this Senate district.
In 2018, I knew I was supposed to challenge the incumbent for the 74th House District. Since winning that primary as an “unknown” conservative challenger, I have Represented the district to the best of my ability, relentlessly giving it my all and now serve in various capacities such as:
-
Chairman - House Corrections / Juvenile Justice Committee
-
Chairman - Kansas Truth Caucus (https://www.kansastruthcaucus.org/)
-
Member: Judiciary Committee & Appropriations Committee
It truly takes team effort to create policy. As I share some of the legislation I have sponsored that passed, it is important to realize it was far more than just my work that got it done. Here are a few:
-
Consistently voted to reduce your tax burden while still balancing the budget!
-
Fought for Individual Liberty during the Covid Lockdowns by providing exemptions to life changing mandates
-
Supported our community by ensuring Mirror Inc. was made whole with $1.9 Million in unpaid reimbursements promised by the state, helping Hesston build a new grocery store through the TEFFI Act and supported various initiatives to increase access to mental health services at Prairie View.
-
Ensured KPERS was healthy and funded by adding Billions of dollars to our unfunded liabilities.
-
Led the conservative charge at every turn by limiting government growth and fighting for traditional values.
As your next Senator, my focus will remain on strengthening our families, our communities and our state by consistently applying the principles that will LIFT up Kansas!
-
L: Limited Government
-
I: Individual Liberty
-
F: Free Enterprise

T: Traditional Values
After nearly 20 years, it is time for new leadership in the 31st Senate district. Will you partner with me to ensure we bring about the change needed to LIFT up Kansas? I need at least 150 people to contribute $1,000 to ensure victory! Will you help me reach my goal?
