John,

"Democrats elected a Governor and captured one of the state's...Congressional seats in normally Republican Kansas."

We've heard it for decades: Kansas is a solidly red Republican state that Democrats have no business competing in. But for just as long, Kansas Democrats have beat the odds – in fact, the above quote is from a post-election article...from 1956.

And you know what? The next sentence reflects the conditions we've always dealt with – even if the Republican at the very top of ticket runs away with the presidential election, Kansas Democrats should never be counted out.

We won big in 2018, and we can do it again in November. Please make a contribution to our 2020 Grassroots Campaign!

We've seen over the last two weeks in the Kansas Legislature just how important each election is. While Gov. Laura Kelly announced a bipartisan Medicaid expansion deal right before the legislative session started and everyday Kansans have tons of issues that need to be addressed, right-wing Republicans have sprinted to eliminate abortion rights from the state constitution with an insane, out-of-touch constitutional amendment.

Gov. Kelly alone can't accomplish what the vast majority of Kansans want – not when Republicans pushing Brownback-style tax experiments and fringe pet projects are in charge. Kansans are demanding change, both in Topeka and in Washington.

You're going to hear a lot from naysayers over the next several months. With your help, we can prove them wrong. After all, that's kind of what we do.

Onward,
KDP Team
