Infantry grunt. Born and raised in El Dorado, KS. Meet Noah Taylor.

Noah Taylor knew early on that he wanted to serve his country. A year after high school, he enlisted in the United States Army and became an infantry grunt. Soon after, he deployed to Afghanistan, where he learned firsthand what forever wars cost us.

Now in the wake of the Iran conflict, Noah believes more forcefully than ever that America should be strong and Americans should be safe, but you don’t start a war of distraction without evidence or a plan to end it. So he’s running as a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate because when Members of Congress refuse to stand up for hardworking families – while a few at the top profit – they’re deserting Kansans and using our kids as bargaining chips.

Noah is running to defeat Senator Roger Marshall – a man so weak that he turned tail and scurried out the back door of a town hall when Kansans dared to ask some simple questions – because being an Army grunt means you don’t run when things get hard, you stand tall and do your job.

Noah grew up in El Dorado, the son of a pipefitter and a nurse. His wife is from Wichita, and together they are raising their son and daughter in Kechi with the same Kansas values they were taught: hard work, independence, family. You do your job. You play by the rules. You look out for your neighbors. If you work hard, you’re supposed to be able to build a good life.

But for too many Kansas families, that promise feels out of reach. Grocery bills and electricity rates are out of control, there’s no end in sight to the tariffs, and you can’t afford to go to the doctor when something hurts. Property taxes keep going up while families feel like they’re getting less in return. Our hard work doesn't show up in our paychecks anymore, and the stuff that makes a good life feels farther out of reach every year. And now we’re facing down another endless war. Kansans have felt this way for a long time – nearly 20 years – and nothing’s changed.

Noah believes the reason nothing has changed is clear: the system is rigged by money. A handful of people at the top are calling all the shots – and the rest of us get stuck with the bill. Big corporations and the Epstein class take advantage of us, waste our taxes, and get away with whatever they want. And politicians like Marshall let it happen. They cash the checks, cast the votes, and then watch their stock portfolios climb.

We don’t have to take this shit lying down. Noah believes it’s time to land a few black eyes on a system that works great for the Senator Marshalls of the world — and not for the rest of us.

So Noah is running for U.S. Senate to fight for three things:

1. Make life more affordable for Kansas families

2. End the forever wars they send our kids to fight in

3. Clean up the corruption once and for all

Noah’s father taught him that legacy is everything. Noah wants his children — and all Kansas kids — to grow up with the chance to build their future here.

Because when things get tough, the people at the top can always run out the back door. But most Kansans? We don’t have that choice. So it’s time to fight back.

Noah’s story is possible because of the GI bill. After three years in the infantry, Noah continued his service as a counterintelligence specialist in the U.S. Army Reserve while completing his degree at Wichita State University and bartending to help pay the bills. Today, he runs a small business helping other local companies grow and create jobs. In his (limited) spare time, Noah enjoys working out, hunting, and shooting hoops — and most of all, spending time with his family.
