We’ve endorsed Rep. Linda Featherston for re-election to House District 16. HD 16 is in the northwest corner of Blue Valley and also includes some Olathe and Shawnee Mission voters in its boundaries.
Linda Featherston was first elected in 2020 and is running unopposed in this election. Her adult children attended Shawnee Mission schools, where she volunteered. Featherston has a degree in music education and is a successful small business owner who has operated a popular piano studio for 30 years. She serves on the board of the Kansas Music Teachers Association and the Kansas City Music Teachers Association. She also volunteers in the Sunset Community Garden, which provides fresh produce to those in need, and with Be SMART, an educational branch of Moms Demand Action.
In the legislature, Featherston has voted to fully fund our public schools, to support educators, and has voted against voucher-style schemes that would divert tax money to private schools. She has supported local control of public schools. She has voted against legislation that would force public schools to use NRA-developed curriculum, and opposed legislation that would allow 18 year olds to conceal-carry weapons on Kansas college campuses (and anywhere in public).
Featherston regularly engages with constituents via public forums, and participates in monthly Town Halls during the legislative session.
Although she’s unopposed, District 16 voters should be sure to vote for Linda Featherston in appreciation of her service to our community and state.
