Amanda Adkins Silent As GOP Votes to Gut Kansans’ Medicare

Longtime Brownback advisor Amanda Adkins has troubling history of endangering Kansas’ health care services

Last week, nearly every House Republican voted to gut Kansans’ Medicare — threatening the critical health care services that Kansas seniors and families depend on.

Unfortunately, it’s not the first time the GOP has played games with Kansans’ health care benefits. As a longtime advisor to former governor Sam Brownback, Amanda Adkins supported Brownback’s failed tax experiment that caused devastating cuts to the state’s Medicaid program.

Kansans deserve to know: Would Amanda Adkins have voted with national Republicans to recklessly gut Kansans’ Medicare?

DCCC Spokesperson Johanna Warshaw:

“Amanda Adkins stood by disgraced governor Sam Brownback as he slashed the state’s budget and delivered painful cuts to the health care services that Kansas seniors and families depend on. Now Kansans deserve to know whether Adkins would join Washington Republicans in gutting their Medicare, or whether she’d finally stand up against the GOP’s reckless actions.”
