HOME | Joy Eakins Governor

Why Joy? Why now?

Kansas is at a crossroads. With the election of President Trump, America is on the edge of tremendous growth and opportunity. Kansas can either embrace this bold vision or it can continue to lag behind. The determining factor of our trajectory will be leadership.

That’s why Joy Eakins has decided to explore a potential run for governor. She’s not a product of Topeka. Like President Trump, she’s an outspoken outsider and successful business owner who has spent her life confronting challenges, overcoming adversity, solving problems, fighting for what she believes in, and leading people to success with a fresh vision. She’s confident she can do the same for the people of Kansas.

It’s time to take action. Kansans deserve real leadership, real vision, and real opportunities to get ahead. Joy is ready to lead and fight for a better future for Kansas.
