HUTCHINSON, Kan. — As one of two doctors running for the United States Senate this fall in Kansas, Democrat Barbara Bollier wanted to draw a clear line between herself and Republican Roger Marshall in a Hutchinson appearance Friday.
"We need non-partisan leaders who will just put all the politics aside and really focus on what matters to Kansans," Bollier said. "I have a long standing record of doing exactly that and actually getting things done for Kansans."
The biggest thing she wants to do is make healthcare more affordable.
"I will absolutely support doing everything we can to get expanded and affordable and accessible healthcare to the people," Bollier said.
With that said, she is not for a Bernie Sanders style solution.
"I very much support having the option to have private health insurance," Bollier said. "That will be maintained, but I want people to have a public option buy in alternative."
The former Republican from Mission Hills changed parties in December of 2018.
