Jo Ann Roth Files for State Representative
Jo Ann Roth cites as one of her chief reasons for being active in politics is her conviction that we should not accept an increase in maternal deaths due to Politicians denying Women Bodily Autonomy.
Public Safety
Larned State Hospital is understaffed. While community-based programs are essential, we must not neglect Larned State Hospital for employee, patient and public safety.
Health
Billions of dollars which would have been paid to Kansas Hospitals and Healthcare Providers have been lost due to the failure of the Legislature to expand Medicaid. I support expansion of Medicaid in Kansas.
Privacy
The People of Kansas voted overwhelmingly in August 2022 to keep personal autonomy, the right to control one’s own body, a constitutional right in Kansas.
The Republican Incumbent for the 113th recently emailed that a woman in a crisis pregnancy carrying a baby which cannot survive outside the womb should be required to undergo a C section delivery. Clearly, imposing his belief upon women in Kansas will lead to an increase in maternal deaths.

Jo Ann cites as one of her chief reasons for being active in politics is her conviction that we should not accept an increase in maternal deaths due to politicians denying women bodily autonomy. JoAnn and Kent experienced infertility issues and adopted two (2) children, now adults. Many women have shared with her their own stories of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies and infertility. Her core belief is equal rights for all - special privileges for none. Every Patient -- in consultation with their Doctor should make their own medical decisions, not Politicians in Topeka based on whether the patient is a man or a woman.

The 59% of the voters who rejected the August 2022 Constitutional Amendment are my example of Democracy in Action. Legislators like the Incumbent who refuse to listen should be voted out of office.
