Led opposition to bathroom bill

Kansas passed a law requiring individuals to use bathrooms matching their sex assigned at birth in all government buildings, schools, and universities.

Violations carry escalating penalties: $1,000 civil fine for a second offense and misdemeanor charges for three or more.
