JoCo Catholic Voter Information, 2025

Johnson County, KS

Dear Brothers & Sisters In Christ

As part of our Catholic Voter Information initiative, we are a group of Johnson County, Kansas residents committed to upholding traditional Catholic values. We have created a 10-question survey, which has been distributed to all local candidates appearing on the November 4th, 2025 ballot.

Note: For state and national elections, please refer to Kansas Catholic Conference https://www.kansascatholic.org

Our hope is that the results of this survey will assist you in deciding for whom you will cast your vote.

See the 10 survey questions listed below, and the candidate’s responses to those questions thus far. A deadline of October 31st to complete the survey was given. Only the number of yes and no responses will be reported, and not responses to individual survey questions. We will not endorse candidates on this site, hence the title JoCo Catholic Voter Information, 2025.

JoCo Catholic Voter Information, 2025 is not endorsed by the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas. We report; you decide.

And may God be with you.
