The Kansas Republican Party, with 32 other Republican state and territory parties in the filing, took quick action and the lead position in preparing a bold and unique Amicus Brief filing to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) on writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of Colorado. Our collective argument is against Colorado's unilateral action to remove Donald J. Trump from their state ballot.

The state and territory parties joining the KSGOP filing include;

Our brief argues that any state or territory unilaterally removing any qualified candidate for President of the United States from their states ballot causes a harm to Republicans in all other states and territories. This obvious abuse of the Fourteenth Amendment reduces the likelihood of a candidate's overall success in accumulating delegates to win the Republican nomination for president of the United States of America.

As the chairman of the Kansas Republican Party, I could not stand idly by and allow this injustice to prevail without a fight. And the American Patriot spirit of KSGOP BOLD CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP is guideling the way across America!

Our attorneys, Chris McGowne and Craig Uhrich, are the amazing and talented Kansas lawyers who wrote our Amicus Brief. I want to express our most sincere gratitude to these men who spent endless hours making this possible often in the overnight hours so they could maintain their daily business and law responsibilities.

Our attorneys penned a masterpiece and we are going to win this important argument!

But…

WE ARE STILL UNDER ATTACK.

You know how vital it is to defeat the liberal agenda and secure our future for generations to come. With so much woke nonsense occurring across Kansas and America, I want to share this important milestone with you and to ask for your help.

Would you stand shoulder to shoulder with me and the Kansas Republican Party as we continue our fight to preserve and defend our shared Kansas and American values and principles?

New Hampshire Primary:

Trump Wins, Rolls On

In a resounding victory, Donald J. Trump triumphsed in the New Hampshire Primary Election, setting his sights on the upcoming contest in South Carolina. The Trump2024 campaign is gaining momentum, with aspirations to secure the Republican nomination by March. Across the nation, polls consistently show Trump as the overwhelming choice among registered and likely Republican voters for the presidency.

Adding to his political arsenal, Trump secured a significant endorsement from US Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina. The endorsement holds particular weight as Senator Scott was appointed to the United States Senate by former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

There is an old political adage, "If you want a loyal friend in politics, get a dog," which solidly resonates as alliances are formed and broken in the pursuit of power. Trump’s strategic alliance with Senator Scott further solidifies his lead position within the Republican machine, emphasizing his appeal with different factions of the Republican Party.

As the political landscape continues to shift, Trump's journey through the primaries is dicey because of the unpredictable nature of politics. Things are sure to change and evolve but Trump’s grip on the lead seems it will inevitably lead to his nomination.

With Trump steamrolling toward the nomination on the rollercoaster ride of politics and no path to victory for Nikki Haley, the 2024 presidential election promises to be both thrilling and unpredictable, even if not in doubt.

The Kansas Republican Presidential Primary will occur on March 19, 2024.

Joining the 1776 Club puts you in the elite “Card-Carrying Kansas Republican Patriot” category with fellow Republican supporters of KSGOP.

This is a powerful way to take a stand against tyranny, socialism, and wokeism.

And we all know America needs more of this Patriotism!

Patriots believe in lower taxes, smaller government, and more freedom.

We also believe in faith, family, and freedom.

Take a stand today. Join us in our mission to save America and to be part of a brighter future for our kids and grandchildren.

United States Congressman Mark Alford Keynote Speaker

Mark Alford will be the KSGOP Bob Dole Dinner Keynote Speaker. We are honored to have this Conservative Republican Patriot join us on Saturday nightand look forward to a fun-filled evening!

Mark Alford

Mark Alford is a husband, father, former small business owner and former TV news anchor, and proudly represents Missouri’s 4th District in Congress. Alford spent 25 years anchoring Kansas City’s #1 morning news show prior to his time in Congress.

His time covering Missouri’s top news stories connected him to thousands of Missourian families of all walks of life, providing insight into the issues most important to Missouri families, and the struggles most common to them. It also offered the opportunity to hone his God-given talents as a professional communicator, enhancing his voice to inform, influence, and inspire millions of people across Missouri.

Alford’s experience behind the news desk gave him a front row view to the constant attacks against our nation’s founding principles from an increasingly liberal, progressive ideology that threatens to undermine our country’s values of faith, family, hard work, and individual liberty.

Alford’s serves as a megaphone to each and every Missourian in the 4th district, magnifying their voices and their values in Washington, D.C.

Over the years, Alford’s voice helped raise millions of dollars for charities both locally and nationally, and served dozens of boards, foundations, churches, civic organizations, families, and strangers. Alford and his wife Leslie have been married 33 years and share three grown children.

After being sworn into the 118th Congress as a freshman member, Alford was selected to the House Armed Services Committee, House Agriculture committee, and House Small Business committee.

MARIA HOLIDAY

I appreciate this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Maria Holiday and I am currently the Chair of the Johnson County Republican Party. It is one of many roles I have held in Kansas politics. I was born in Wichita and raised in Ellinwood in Barton County. My family moved to Garden City when I was a sophomore. After high school, I graduated from St. Mary of the Plains in Dodge City with a degree in education. My husband's job brought us to Johnson County in 1992. Doc and I have three grown children, four granddaughters, and a lab mix named Ebony.

I believe the Republican Party has a winning platform. “We The People,” must pull together to defend our country. I have and will continue to fight for truth! We need leadership who is not timid about promoting our platform.

As your National Committeewoman, I will have a vote for new National leadership in 2025. I will vote for a leader that will listen to the grassroots. We need an RNC that can create excitement and hope for the future. We need the RNC to support conservative ideals, project political strength, and win the big races across America and Kansas. “We The People” are desperately waiting for an RNC that is not afraid to take ACTION!

In addition to being the Johnson County Chair, I have been the Chair for the Kansas Republican Assembly, the secretary for the 3rd Congressional District, a grassroots coordinator for Phill Kline, a campaign volunteer for multiple campaigns, a campaign manager, and a candidate for public office. I am a 2007 graduate of the Eisenhower Women in Leadership Series. I am unabashedly pro-life, and I have always supported Republican leadership.

In my first year as Johnson County Chair, our JCRP team rebuilt our website and added a campaign toolkit for candidates. We have established messaging recommendations, created precinct committee persons recruitment and training committees, held candidate training, and remodeled our office so our 2 dozen local Republican groups have a home large enough to hold their meetings and events. We doubled fundraising this year over last and got a record number of Republicans out to vote in a local election.

If you want a National Committee Woman who gets things done - I’m your girl. I care about our country. I care about saving it.

WENDY BINGESSER

Wendy is currently serving as the Chair of the Third District Republican Party and previously served as the Chair of the Olathe Republican Party. She is a graduate of the Eisenhower Series and a member of the KFRW. In 2020, she personally knocked the entirety of four critical Kansas House districts and won them all. These wins allowed Republicans to keep their supermajority and deliver on key proposals. As a Johnson County Charter Commissioner, Wendy won a battle to keep the sheriff an elected office and blocked a radical proposal for a public health and safety governing board. Wendy is a mother, wife, K-State alumna, and proud Kansas conservative.

Blessings,

Wendy

Dr. Mark Steffen

My life has been a series of events preparing me for these times. Husband, father, physician, farmer, oil & gas producer, general contractor: my specialty has been tackling new challenges head on, and with God’s grace…. successfully. In the spirit of servant leadership, I ask for your support for Kansas Republican Party National Committeeman. As an elected County precinct committeeman, District Delegate, State Delegate, and Kansas State Senator, I have led the grassroots’ charge back to the CONSTITUTION, our FREEDOMS, and the TRUTH. I pledge to promote our Kansas Republican Party Platform unapologetically from “Sea to Shining Sea”. UNITY is ultimately found within our values and principles, it’s also where success resides and where a true “Red Wave” begins. The RNC struggles to define what they stand for as their thinking is frequently usurped by big-money donors committed to their selfish interests. Endorsements: the approval I seek is from WE THE PEOPLE, while they are rarely famous, they are Kansas’ greatest asset. My heart and soul are firmly planted in the Kansas Grassroots. A vote for me will be a vote for a Republican revival, a resurgence. I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!! See my resume at SteffenForKansas.com. Facebook: Dr. Mark Steffen. Cell: 620-802-1188

MARK KAHRS

Helping elect solid conservatives to office and advancing the America First agenda has been a lifelong endeavor for me. My most valued political experience is what I've gained as a grassroots activist working with conservatives to elect Republicans. I've served as:

Precinct committeeman

Field Director for Todd Tiahrt for Congress

Kansas GOP State Committee Delegate

Sedgwick County Republican Central Committee Chairman

Kansas Fourth District Republican Treasurer

Kansas Fourth District Chairman

Kansas State Representative

Vice Chair of the Kansas Republican House Campaign Committee

I’ve helped maintain a Republican majority in the Kansas House, fought to keep our Republican primaries closed, recruited conservatives to run for office, and raised money for candidates and conservative initiatives. As a member of the RNC, I am working to strengthen the integrity of our elections and to build conservative coalitions. It’s critical work I hope to continue.

My decades of service to the Republican Party helped me earn the support of three of Kansas's Republican Congressional District Chairs – Laura Francis, Eric Rucker, and Debbie Luper. I hope to earn your support as well.
