I was taking a walk, and talking to myself,
and I realized that I truly want to reach out to certain voters,
here in Kansas.
The voters I want to speak to,
are those who voted for Donald Trump,
in 2016, and again in 2020,
and they voted to re-elect Republican Senator Jerry Moran, in 2016,
and they voted for Republicans, for the House, in 2020,
such as the one who represents my district, the KS-4 district,
Republican Ron Estes.
And, most of them voted for Republicans, to represent them,
in the State Legislature.
Yet,
many thousands of those same voters, who did all that voting for Republicans,
thousands of them voted to elect Laura Kelly, as our Governor, in 2018.
And, as the whole world knows, thousands of them voted NO, yesterday, on the Republican proposal to amend the Kansas Constitution.
I want to reach out to those thousands of voters.
I want to ask them to consider their votes for Laura Kelly,
and their vote NO, yesterday.
I want them to simply consider, voting with us Democrats,
on more than just those two choices.
In November, I want them to, please:
- Vote to re-elect our Democratic Governor, Laura Kelly.
- Vote for Democrat, Mark Holland, for the US Senate.
- Vote for the Democrat, in your district, to represent you in the House. For example, I am in the KS-4 district, and I will vote for the Democrat, Bob Hernandez.
- And, since you already like Governor Laura Kelly, please vote for you state legislator, who is the Democrat on the ballot. For example, I will vote for Silas Miller, to represent me, in the Kansas House. (The Kansas Senators are not up for a vote this year.) You need to vote for Democrats, as your lawmakers in Topeka, because, that is teamwork. Teamwork makes the dream work. Voting in a Democrat, as Governor, then saddling her with Republican lawmakers, that is not teamwork.
So, once again, to my fellow voters of Kansas,
those thousands of you who usually vote for Republicans,
yet, you voted for Democrat, Laura Kelly,
and you shocked the whole world, by joining us Democrats, in voting NO, yesterday,
please consider working with us Democrats, all across the ballot, in November.
Thanks for reading.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
