BUILDING COMMON GROUND

Chris Carmichael is running for Congress to make life more affordable and secure for Kansas families. Heโ€™ll fight to lower costs, protect Social Security, and create better-paying jobs so families can get ahead โ€” not just get by.

โ€œBasics shouldnโ€™t break the bank.โ€

Chris believes no one should have to choose between groceries, gas, or medicine. He will push for livable wages, lower healthcare costs, and quality jobs so families can get ahead โ€” not just get by.

The Issues

Looking up at a spiraling hotel lobby with multiple flagpoles hanging from the ceiling, featuring flags from various countries, centered around a glass-domed ceiling with ornate gold accents and elegant architectural details.
  • Kansans work hard, but Washington isnโ€™t working for them.

    Prices keep going up โ€” at the store, the gas pump, and the doctorโ€™s office. Families are paying more but not earning more.

    Too many families are struggling to keep up as prices rise and paychecks stay the same. Chris Carmichael believes no one should have to choose between groceries, gas, or medicine.


    Heโ€™ll work to lower costs, bring good jobs to Kansas, and make sure families can afford the things they need โ€” food, gas, and medicine. โ€“ Basics shouldnโ€™t break the bank.

  • No one should have to skip the doctor because it costs too much.


    Chris will work to lower drug prices, keep local hospitals open, and make sure every Kansan can get care when they need it. โ€“ Basics shouldnโ€™t break the bank.

  • You worked hard and paid into Social Security โ€” you deserve it. Chris Carmichael will fight to protect your benefits, so your retirement is secure and your hard-earned money stays in your pocket.

  • After more than 30 years in uniform, Chris knows the sacrifices those in uniform make for our country โ€” and in return, their country owes them a debt of care and respect. Heโ€™ll work to ensure veterans can count on the benefits theyโ€™ve earned โ€” health care, education, and retirement โ€” and have reliable access to the services they need when challenges arise from that service. Heโ€™ll protect the benefits Kansas veterans count on and work to improve access to VA services across our state so no veteran is left behind.

  • Chris Carmichael has spent his life defending freedom โ€” first in uniform, now at home in Kansas. He believes our constitutional rights must be protected from being chipped away by politics and partisanship. In Congress, Chris will stand up for the rule of law, protect free speech, and ensure the government works for the people โ€” not the other way around.

  • Itโ€™s getting harder for family farms to stay in business. High prices for equipment and supplies make it easier for big corporate farms to thrive while smaller farms struggle. Crop prices havenโ€™t kept up with the cost of living for decades.

    Chris Carmichael will fight for family farmers โ€” not big corporations โ€” by working to level the playing field and give local farms a fair chance to succeed.

About Chris Carmichael


Chris Carmichael achieved the American Dream.  He is the first in his family to get a college degree and the first of his military family to go from Enlisted to an Officer.  Despite Chrisโ€™ rough upbringing as a kidnapped and abused child he was able to make his goals a reality. 

Chris is a proud veteran who served for more than 31 years in the U.S. Army and Air Force, including over two years in Afghanistan. He retired as a Colonel and earned the Bronze Star for his leadership and service.

A Midwest kid, Chris was born and raised in Ohio. But when it came time to choose a place to call his forever home, Chris chose Kansas. He and his wife are proud parents of three grown children who keep him grounded and focused on what matters most โ€” family and community.

Chris is running for Congress to serve Kansans the same way he served his country โ€” with strong leadership grounded with integrity, fairness, and respect for everyone.

As the father of a police officer, Chris knows that safe communities start with trust. Good officers need to be supported and encouraged while making sure that no one is above the law, including those enforcing it. 

Guided by empathy and common sense, Chris is listening, ready to lead, and support the needs of all Kansans โ€” no matter their background or political beliefs.
