This Bisexual Kansas Legislator Wants to Get Stuff Done
One thing is clear when walking away from a conversation with Heather Meyer: She wants to "get shit done." Meyer was born and raised in Kansas.
She grew up in a single-father household, struggling, which she acknowledges is a story many across Kansas share. She is a person with type 1 diabetes who did not have insurance and grew up with a father who also had type 1 diabetes and was uninsured.
She understands rationing insulin. Moreover, as a bisexual woman and member of the Kansas legislature, she understands LGBTQ+ issues.The Democrat tells The Advocate that the summer's U.S.
Supreme Court ruling in the Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe vs. Wade, marked a turning point for personal rights but that Kansas stood in the forefront against it."The August 2 vote proved that people across the country, even right here in the heartland, in the Midwest, really want to make sure that we can preserve a person's right to choose," Meyer says.
