Masterson labeled Holscher a “socialist,” while she called his policies extreme and highlighted his $1 million paycheck from a non-existent Wichita State job. Holscher blamed Masterson for soaring property taxes tied to corporate tax breaks, vowing to fix it — he countered that her proposed spending would worsen the problem. The heated exchange also covered data centers, school vouchers, and reproductive rights, revealing starkly different visions for Kansas — all amplified by a rowdy, partisan crowd.
