Analysis: likely positions
These are predictions drawn from the record above, not facts. Each one names the facts it rests on and what would prove it wrong, and is checked against later decisions where possible.
Likely to vote for, or as governor sign, bills that restrict abortion.
Based on: c-4f44499eba42, c-60787b8f971d, c-29da72e18b61, c-502197d522db, c-92efd03ecc36, c-29ff7ada4561, c-eb3b1f8b1345, c-fbcfed90cde2
Method: Same direction across 8 actions on or before 2022-12-31: listed as a sponsor of six Senate bills restricting abortion (2011-2019) and yes on the 2019 SB 67 veto override and the 2021 HCR 5003 constitutional amendment. Held-out check by hand, because score_inferences.py scores predicates, not vote positions: cutoff 2022-12-31, then 4 of 4 later recorded votes tagged restricts-abortion were yes as predicted (SB 5 2023, HB 2264 2023, HB 2436 2024, HB 2749 2024; Wilson 95% interval 0.51-1.00). Baseline: always yes, his position on 13 of his 14 recorded votes before the cutoff, also gets 4 of 4, so this adds no information beyond his general tendency to vote yes on bills that reach a final Senate vote. Votes were selected by subject, not at random; no recorded vote concerned a bill that expands abortion access. No record shows him deciding a bill as an executive, so the signing part extends his legislative record.
Would be shown wrong if: He votes against, or as governor vetoes, a bill whose official title restricts abortion, or he votes for or signs a bill whose title expands abortion access.
Test: not tested against later actions.
Confidence: medium
Likely to vote for, or as governor sign, bills that tighten advance-voting, ballot-return or voter-registration rules.
Based on: c-74cffe473696, c-c9613c6be03a, c-6b624a6dd476
Method: Yes on all 3 recorded votes on bills tagged tightens-voting-rules on or before 2023-12-31 (the 2021 HB 2183 and HB 2332 veto overrides and the 2023 SB 209 override attempt). Held-out check by hand: cutoff 2023-12-31, then 4 of 4 later votes yes as predicted (HB 2614 2024, SB 4 2025, SB 394 2026, HB 2437 2026; Wilson 95% interval 0.51-1.00). Baseline: always yes, his position on 22 of his 23 recorded votes before the cutoff, also gets 4 of 4, so this adds no information beyond his general tendency. No prediction is made for bills that expand voting access: he voted yes on the 2019 SB 130 (38-1), which the record tags expands-voting-access. Votes were selected by subject, not at random.
Would be shown wrong if: He votes against, or as governor vetoes, a bill whose official title tightens advance-voting, ballot-return or voter-registration rules.
Test: not tested against later actions.
Confidence: medium
Likely to vote for, or as governor sign, bills that restrict transgender people's participation in girls' and women's sports, gender-transition treatment for minors, or use of single-sex spaces.
Based on: c-0b51dc2ac157, c-99ff57aba9ee, c-b19443ee386d, c-8cece1a26d04
Method: Yes on all 4 recorded votes on bills tagged limits-lgbt-protections on or before 2023-12-31 (veto overrides on SB 55 2021, SB 160 2022, HB 2238 2023 and SB 180 2023). Held-out check by hand: cutoff 2023-12-31, then 4 of 4 later votes yes as predicted (SB 233 2024, SB 63 2025, SB 76 2025, SB 244 2026; Wilson 95% interval 0.51-1.00). Baseline: always yes, his position on 22 of his 23 recorded votes before the cutoff, also gets 4 of 4, so this adds no information beyond his general tendency. Votes were selected by subject, not at random; no recorded vote concerned a bill that adds such protections.
Would be shown wrong if: He votes against, or as governor vetoes, a bill whose official title sets such a restriction, or he votes for or signs a bill adding gender-identity protections.
Test: not tested against later actions.
Confidence: medium
Likely to vote for, or as governor sign, bills that cut state income, sales or property taxes.
Based on: c-3f9493e21b52, c-efc87896e5bc, c-2860fad5f85e, c-2ee1f69dc0ab
Method: Same direction across 4 actions on or before 2023-12-31: listed as a sponsor of the 2019 SB 13 income tax bill and yes on HB 2106 (2022, food sales tax), SB 33 (2023) and the SB 169 override attempt (2023). Held-out check by hand: cutoff 2023-12-31, then 4 of 4 later votes yes as predicted (HB 2284 2024, HB 2036 2024, SB 269 2025, SB 368 2026; Wilson 95% interval 0.51-1.00). Baseline: always yes, his position on 22 of his 23 recorded votes before the cutoff, also gets 4 of 4, so this adds no information beyond his general tendency. Votes were selected by subject, not at random; no recorded vote concerned a bill whose main purpose was raising taxes.
Would be shown wrong if: He votes against, or as governor vetoes, a bill whose official title cuts state income, sales or property taxes, or he votes for or signs a general tax increase.
Test: not tested against later actions.

Why these records are the same person
- Kansas Legislature member pages sen_masterson_ty_1 for 2011-2026 (c-212ad76c91ce) list Ty Masterson, Republican, Senate District 16 (Butler County); the 2021 Senate Journal's list of officers gives 'Ty Masterson, Andover' as President of the Senate (c-324cc396530d). Name, district, party and city match across the pages.
- Secretary of State official results list Ty Masterson, Republican, in Kansas House District 99 (2006) and Kansas Senate District 16 (2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024), matching the Legislature's terms (House 2005-2008, Senate 2009-present). He is on neither the 2004 primary nor the 2004 general results.
- The Secretary of State's 2026 candidate lists and 2026 primary totals name Ty Masterson, Republican, with running mate Jeffrey Klemp, for Governor / Lt. Governor, ballot city Andover (c-6b4b1944d1a7, c-81df4446bd66). Name, party and city match the senator; Only one Ty Masterson appears on either 2026 list.
- Wikidata Q7859620 (c-400c339f093d) and Ballotpedia Ty_Masterson (c-3a30b950a3b5) describe the same person: Kansas House member from 2005, Kansas Senate from 2009, Republican, residence Andover; Ballotpedia names him the 2026 Republican candidate for Governor on a joint ticket with Jeff Klemp. Office, dates, party and city match.
- FEC bulk candidate files for 2006-2026 contain no candidate named Masterson, Ty, so no federal candidacy is attributed to him.
- Campaign finance: the Secretary of State's viewer lists filings under the candidate 'Masterson, Ty' for Governor (2025-2026), State Senator 16 (2008-2025) and State Representative 99 (2005-2008), the offices and dates of his official record; the House 99 treasurer appointment is dated October 18, 2005, consistent with House service from 2005. Name, office, district and dates match.
- Court records: the 2010 bankruptcy petition of 'Ty A Masterson' (c-93dfecc1b1fd) gives Butler County, occupation 'Legislature' and employer 'State Of Kansas'; Thompson v. Masterson (c-a1453d7c76ec) and Allen v. Masterson (c-926809cd28a2) name him as President of the Kansas Senate. Name, county, office and employer match.
- Nonprofit and employment: ALEC's Forms 990 for 2021-2024 name 'Senator Ty Masterson' and 'Senate President Ty Masterson' (c-04d0fdb5b61b, c-30f8614af015); Wichita State's FY2026 budget lists 'Masterson, Ty' as GoCreate Director (c-de7eacf984ec), the role his own ALEC profile names. Name plus title or self-described role match.

Corrections
The bankruptcy petition claim now cites the petition itself (Doc. 1) instead of a CourtListener docket address, and states the filing date and case number printed on it.
Retracted three claims about later bankruptcy docket entries (discharge order of April 29, 2011; order reopening the case, August 27, 2014; final decree of November 19, 2014).
The Thompson v. Masterson filing claim now cites the court docket, which shows the complaint filed December 22, 2023, instead of the November 5, 2025 order, which does not give that date.
Statement reworded from 'rising property taxes' to 'runaway property taxes', the campaign site's own word.
