In the KS-02 Congressional District, Challenger Nancy Boyda is giving incumbent Jim Ryun the real run of his life. After polls showed Nancy was leading the 10 year incumbent Congressman his office announced Vice-President Cheney will be coming to Topeka, KS on October 12 to try and shore up Ryun's bid to hold onto his "Red State" Office.
The Boyda campaign manager noted, "Cheney's visit underscores the trouble in Ryun's waning campaign. Bringing Cheney, one of the achitects of the failing occupation in Iraq and a key engineer in trying to legislate immunity for the Bush Adminsitration from their blunders will not impress Kansas voters. But then who else can Ryun call on to come to his aid? Ryun has been an instrument in all that is going in the wrong direction in this country"
Boyda's campaign has plugged into the voter discontent that politicians like Jim Ryun have forgotten the folks back home and are responding to the Big Billion Dollar Lobbyists. Ryun holds himself out as one of the most religious right wing politicians in DC. His talk of family values fails to show through in his voting records where he is a consumate friend of global companies that outsource jobs that provide the income needed to raise a family.
Nancy Boyda has dedicated her campaing to returning democracy to the people and has written two voter's guides giving real information to voters. The first two issues can be downloaded from her website:
