We’ve endorsed incumbent Rep. Dan Osman for re-election to House District 48. HD 48 is in the central area of Blue Valley on both sides of 69 highway.
Dan Osman was elected in 2021 by the district precinct committee to fill an opening; he was re-elected by voters in 2022 (winning against an opponent backed by over $16,000 in Americans For Prosperity money). Osman is from Overland Park and attended Shawnee Mission public schools. He graduated from The University of Kansas Law School, and runs a small business. His kids attend Blue Valley Schools. Osman is active in the community, including serving as President of his HOA. He served on the School Board where he previously lived.
In the legislature, Osman has joined public education supporters by voting to fully fund public schools while supporting a responsible tax cut, after Gov. Laura Kelly stabilized our state budget. Osman has voted in favor of fully funding Special Education, and against a measure that would make it harder to vote. He sends regular constituent emails and attends in-person Town Halls during the legislative session, keeping constituents informed and hearing their feedback. Osman demonstrated his expertise on state tax policy during a recent Overland Park Chamber forum and outlined his support in the legislature for various targeted tax relief measures.
Although he doesn’t mention it on his website, Osman’s opponent supports vouchers - according to his answer to a questionnaire on the iVoterGuide website: https://ivoterguide.com/.../82344/race/12239/election/1246 Osman’s opponent did not share any specific tax policy answers, when asked by the moderator at the aforementioned OP Chamber forum. Concerningly, the opponent Osman defeated in 2022 (who was backed by AFP) is now the treasurer for Osman’s current opponent. If Osman’s opponent comes to your door, ask him if he thinks Blue Valley Schools are efficient and effective. Inquire about organizations that back him (AFP? Moms for Liberty?). Let us know what you find out.
