David Crum, State Representative 77th District
"It has been a great pleasure serving in the Kansas House these past two years with Ty Masterson. He is very effective and exhibits the high standards that we need in our state senator. I intend to vote for Ty and urge you to do the same."

Peggy Palmer, State Senator 16th District
"Over the past decade, I have been honored to serve in the Kansas Legislature as a state representative and senator. The people we send to Topeka greatly impact how the state responds to important issues. We must have a strong voice in Topeka that reflects the basic principles of limited government, individual liberties, free enterprise and family values.

I have personally worked with Ty Masterson during the past three years in his current position as state representative. Ty consistently held to his convictions and has a strong voting record as a taxpayer advocate and pro-job legislator.

I am confident that he is the best choice for the people of District 16. I will be voting on Aug. 5 for Ty Masterson, and I urge other Republicans in my district to do the same."

Karl Peterjohn, Kansas Taxpayers Network
"Ty Masterson has created an outstanding fiscal record during his service in the Kansas legislature."

Gracia Burnham
"I plan to vote for Ty Masterson for Kansas State Senate District 16 because he holds the same values that I do. He is a family man and his word can be trusted. He has been around here long enough to know the issues and is listening to us as we give our opinions on those issues."

Chuck Knapp
"So many times in elections, we feel like we must choose between "the lesser of two evils," and I am pleased that is not the case in the Republican primary for the 16th District State Senate race. We have two very capable candidates who would serve us well in Topeka. However, it is my belief that Ty Masterson is the best choice for this important position.

Over a 17-year career in politics and public service at both the state and federal levels, I have had the opportunity to work for, work with and battle against numerous politicians. Most recently, I had the privilege of serving as 4th District Congressman Todd Tiahrt's communications director and campaign manager for seven years.

Like most Americans, I have become somewhat disenchanted with the political process, but I greatly admire those who enter the arena for the right reasons. Ty Masterson is running for State Senate for the right reasons.

I have known Ty and his family a long time, and their outstanding reputation in our community was established long before Ty's involvement in public service. As a state representative, Ty has bolstered that reputation by consistently standing strong for Kansas families and small business owners.

However, Ty understands this campaign is not about what he has accomplished in the past - it is about working together to create new opportunities for our children and grandchildren.

Based on his proven voting record in Topeka and his vision for the future, I will vote to elect Ty Masterson as our next State Senator and encourage others to do the same."

Forrest Knox, District 13 State Representative
"Having served with Ty Masterson in the Kansas House of Representatives, I know him to be a solid representative of the people. Ty looks deeper than promoting existing big government in Kansas; he works to help the needs of Kansans.

Representative Masterson is a small businessman. He knows small business is the life blood of the Kansas economy. Masterson works hard to build the Kansas economy by making the state more business friendly.

Ty is a family man. He takes seriously his responsibility to his family and he works hard for the good of all Kansas children, not just for the good of state agencies that deal with Kansas children.

Most importantly, Representative Masterson believes that state government should be here to help Kansans better themselves, giving a hand when needed, but primarily by not encumbering Kansans with burdensome taxes and regulations.

Ty Masterson works for you, not for big government. I heartily endorse Ty Masterson in his race for State Senator."

Everett Johnson, Retired District 77 Representative
"During my second and last term on the Kansas House of Representatives I had the privilege of sitting next to Ty during his first term with the legislature. Ty was a quick learner and became an effective legislator during that first year. He will have the same success as a Senator.

I want to assure you that Ty is a true social and fiscal conservative who has earned the respect of his Republican colleagues.

Without hesitation, I encourage you to vote for Ty Masterson for State Senator District 16. I will."

Jordan Austin, Kansas State Lobbyist, National Rifle Association
"Representative Masterson has a proven 100% voting record with NRA and has an "A+ rating". He has always been outspoken in his support for the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Kansas citizens."
