Mentoring Young Conservative Leaders with Tory Marie Arnberger-Blew

Tory Marie Arnberger-Blew is a State Representative for the Kansas House of Representatives. As a Senior at Fort Hays State University, Tory announced her candidacy, which led to becoming the youngest member of the Kansas Legislature. In 2022, she was elected as the House Majority Whip. In the Fall of 2016, Tory was elected into office as a Republican. She has served as Vice-Chair for the Federal and State Affairs Leadership Committee as well as sponsored a number of important bills and resolutions.

Tory joins me today to share why she changed her focus from working as a teacher to becoming a public servant. We discuss the challenges she faced throughout her political career and how she eventually became the House Majority Whip. She shares her personal and professional policy priorities and the changes she hopes to make as a Kansas State Representative. We discuss the role that women play in economics and why we need more women to speak up about economic issues. We discuss why Republicans should focus on topics and policies related to limited government, fiscal responsibility, and protecting people’s liberties and how it will help more Republicans get voted into office while helping people live a better life. We also discuss the mission behind the Run Gen Z organization and how they help young Republicans become conservative leaders.

“We’re building the bench and getting everybody ready for the next step.”
