Franklin Terry Bruce (born March 6, 1975) is a former Republican member of the Kansas Senate, representing the 34th district from 2005 until 2017. He previously worked as an Assistant District Attorney for Reno County, Kansas. He has also interned with Speaker of the House Robin Jennison and has worked for House Majority Leader Clay Aurand.

He first served in the Kansas Senate beginning in 2005. However, he lost his primary in 2016 to fellow Republican Ed Berger.

Controversies

Sales tax increase

In June 2015, Bruce voted in favor of SB 270, which increased Kansas state sales tax from 6.15% to 6.5%, while also increasing the cigarette tax by 50 cents. According to the American Tax Foundation, this was the 8th highest tax increase in the history of the United States.[4]

Gay marriage

In March 2014, Bruce stated that he supported Kansas's ban on gay marriage and opposed efforts then to remove the ban.[5]
