Candidate for Member, State Board of Education in Parker, KS

Also running: Heather Guernsey, Destry Brown.

Renee Slinkard is a Republican candidate for the Kansas State Board of Education, representing District 9 in the 2026 primary election. She is seeking to join the state board during a period of significant change, as several incumbents are not seeking re-election. Slinkard previously ran for a local school board position in Prairie View Unified School District 362, Area 3, in 2023. Her policy positions indicate support for legislation that modifies postsecondary tuition and fees for "aliens" to offset funds used for the Kansas foster child educational assistance act, as evidenced by her testimony as a private citizen in 2018. She is involved in a contested three-way Republican primary for the position.
