Immigration & Border
Supports immigration reform that includes acceptable pathways to citizenship and opposes aggressive enforcement tactics that she says are harming communities. Advocates for legislative solutions rather than expanded enforcement-only approaches.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Katy Tyndell has referenced the 2022 Kansas vote on abortion and said "the voters of Kansas have spoken on the issue," but has not provided a clear, detailed public position on federal abortion policy or specific limits. Public news coverage of her campaign announcement highlights health care access as an issue she will work on but does not state an explicit pro-choice or pro-life policy stance.
Public Safety & Guns
Opposes permitless/expanded concealed-carry policies and supports keeping guns off college campuses and strengthening Kansas gun laws to improve public safety. Has advocated for restrictions on recognizing out-of-state concealed-carry permits and for policies to limit firearms on campus. Positions emphasize public-safety-focused gun regulation rather than repeal of gun ownership rights.
