Issue positions

Patton's answers to the Kansas State Legislative Election 2008 Political Courage Test are available.

When asked in the test of his legislative priorities he said,

I will continue fight for property tax relief. The government is putting a financial squeeze on seniors on fixed incomes. With property taxes going up every year, they are being forced to sell their homes or do without essentials to pay the taxes. We should change the system to protect their homes. In addition we have to hold the line on spending. I cannot and will not support a tax increase on homeowners."[1]
