Avery Rowland is running for Kansas House District 2 in the 2026 midterms in November 3 elections. The Democrat shared her views exclusively with HT.com.
She spoke of Muter being anti abortion and anti marijuana, highlighting that the former was legal in the state, while the latter was legal across the border. Rowland added that the revenue from legalization could help the state. She also added that while she wanted to fully fund education, Muter seemed to prefer vouchers and private schools.
“I’m transgender, and my driver’s license and identity is an issue in the state of Kansas to the government people, and I wanted to be in the room when laws are being made,” Rowland said. Asked about possible laws to help the transgender community, and whether she’d back those if she were to become a representative, the candidate said that the need of the hour was to bring back some ‘humanity’. “We’d work on everyone being equal and not having special or…restrictions against different segments of the population,” Rowland continued. “I want to ensure public education is completely funded,” Rowland also said, and added ‘equal human rights’ and ‘basic infrastructure’ to the things that needed addressing. The Democrat further said that there was a need for highways, bridges, and power stations. Speaking of her competition, Muter, Rowland said that he was ‘very conservative’ and ‘very MAGA’ but the voters would decide whether she had an edge over him.
