Campaign website

Watkins' campaign website stated the following:

“	Kansas First Putting the needs of Kansans first doesn't mean isolating ourselves from the world. It means that our people, economy, and safety are the foundation upon which we built a global presence. I’m proud that America is a global leader, but our domestic issues must take priority. Furthermore, as your representative in Washington, I will put my constituents first and fight tirelessly to deliver better opportunities and a better quality of life for all Kansans. The Economy & Jobs Washington’s troubled history of implementing burdensome regulations has restricted small business owners’ ability to create jobs and help grow our Kansas economy. As a former small business owner, I know firsthand the difficulties Kansas entrepreneurs face on a regular basis. Most importantly, I know what needs to be done to ensure our workforce has the skills necessary to meet the jobs of tomorrow . I am going to fight each and every day to support pro-job policies in Washington that will help small businesses grow, create more jobs, and expand our economy in Kansas. Pro-Life Conservative I am pro-life. Today in America, the sanctity of life is rarely valued. As a lifelong conservative, I am and always have been fully dedicated to protecting life at all cost. As Americans we must lead by example, life is sacred and protecting the unborn is a duty we must all uphold. Long ago, I signed the National Right To Life Pledge, to never vote for pro-choice legislation and that is a promise I will uphold in Washington. The Democrats might have a pro-choice agenda in mind, what I say is - Not on my watch. As a small business owner and private citizen, I’ve seen the fundamental failures of Obamacare and the strain it has left on citizens across Kansas. The Obama Administration believed more government would fix our health care industry. Instead, the Affordable Care Act was anything but affordable, and left Americans with skyrocketing premiums, fewer choices, and a lower quality of care. More government is never the solution. I believe Congress now has a responsibility to end the crippling ACA tax mandates and work together to replace Obamacare with a patient-centered system that reduces costs, promotes competition, and gives patients more control of their health care. America Safe Our military men and women are fighting all across the globe to defend our freedoms and preserve our American way of life. Here at home, it is critically important that our Federal Government recognizes the current threats facing our nation and the threats of our future. Congress must never fail to deliver the resources our military needs to defend our shores. It is also important we understand that keeping America safe does not stop at global terrorism. Our government has an obligation to secure our borders, stop illegal immigration, and protect communities from violent transnational gangs that have no place in our society. In Washington, I will continue to keep America and Kansans safe by advocating and supporting policies that will put our military and law enforcement in a position to achieve nothing less than a complete victory—regardless of the challenges we will face as a nation. U.S. Constitution As an American citizen, I am a firm believer in all of our Constitutional freedoms—and that includes the Second Amendment. The law-abiding gun owners of Kansas understand the tremendous responsibility that comes with carrying a firearm. Above all else, we must remain vigilant, maintain our safety, and the safety of those around us. The sportsmen and women of Kansas can rest assured, as a lifelong gun owner and veteran, I will stand against any attempt to misconstrue or misinterpret any of our Constitutional freedoms. Seniors We cannot turn our backs on the millions of seniors enrolled in Social Security or Medicare programs. Seniors in Kansas who have spent their entire lives contributing to these programs and our nation’s economy deserve to know their hard work will help them retire. In order to save these programs and protect our seniors here in Kansas, one must be willing to work across the aisle to find solutions that will save and secure these programs for our children and grandchildren, as well as for our parents and grandparents. I fully recognize the need to preserve Social Security and Medicare and I will do what is necessary to ensure all seniors in Kansas’ 2nd Congressional District will have access to the benefits and resources they deserve. Delivering Results Election cycle after election cycle, candidates promise us results but fail to deliver when they get to Washington. I am not interested in going to Washington to contribute to the same rigged-system that has failed Kansans and our nation for decades. My top priority will be representing your best interests and fighting for a smaller government, one that holds itself accountable and does not get in its own way. Our Veterans Serving our great nation in the U.S. Army for 10 years was, and will always be, my greatest privilege. Now, it would be my privilege to serve our nation’s veterans in Washington. First and foremost, the Federal Government must be willing to do what is necessary to restore accountability throughout all levels of the Department of Veterans Affairs so all veterans will be able to access the health care and the resources they deserve. Our military men and women should be able to return home to a VA that respects their service and provides them with the care and support they deserve. 'National Debt Our nation’s national debt continues to grow by the second. Our children and grandchildren should not be left with a $20 trillion debt burden because our Federal Government could not practice fiscal discipline. Kansans deserve a representative in Congress that will use their hard earned tax dollars wisely and support common-sense policies that improves our current quality of life without ruining the quality of life for future generations by excessive debt.	”

House ethics panel closes investigation into voter fraud without conclusion (2021)

See also: Noteworthy criminal misconduct in American politics (2019-2020)

On July 14, 2020, Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay announced that he had filed four counts—three felonies and one misdemeanor—against Watkins for fraudulent voting in a 2019 Topeka City Council election. The charges included interference with law enforcement by providing false information, voting without being qualified, unlawful advance voting, and failing to notify the DMV of change of address. The charges resulted from a December 2019 investigation over Watkins' use of a UPS store address in Topeka, Kansas, as his place of residence on a voter registration form. According to local news 13 WIBW, the charges also included an allegation that Watkins gave false information to a Shawnee County detective in February 2020 to "influence, impede or obstruct such officer’s" investigation.

Watkins denied wrongdoing during a Republican primary debate on July 14: "I haven't done anything wrong, as soon as I realized that I put my mailing address instead of my physical address, we fixed it." Watkins said he was cooperating with the district attorney.

On July 17, Watkins announced that he was temporarily resigning his House committee membership. House Republicans require any member charged with a felony carrying a sentence of two or more years to resign committee membership pending the charges.

On August 13, Roll Call's Katherine Tully-McManus reported that a subcommittee of the House Ethics Committee was launching an investigation. She wrote, "The House Ethics Committee typically ends inquiries once a lawmaker is out of Congress, whether by retirement or electoral defeat. If the subcommittee does not issue a report on Watkins by the end of the year, the investigation will likely end without a public outcome."

The House ethics panel closed the investigation on January 3, 2021—when Watkins' term ended—without coming to a conclusion.

Sexual misconduct allegations (2018)

On October 26, 2018, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that a woman, Chelsea Scarlett, said that "she was in a room with Watkins 12 years ago when he locked the door, put his hands on her and made unwanted sexual advances."

Watkins responded to the article by saying, "Another day, another round of second-hand, third-hand and anonymous ‘sources’ pushing Brett Kavanaugh-style destruction politics — this time, conveniently days before Election Day.” He was referring to the Supreme Court nominee who was accused of sexual assault before being confirmed to the court earlier in October.

As of December 2019, this misconduct story appeared to be concluded and Ballotpedia discontinued active coverage. Please contact us if new developments occur with this story.
