Sign Up Now CLICK HERE     KSGOP Support for Kansas Republicans in 2024 With the 2024 election filing deadline now past, I would like to take a moment to let you know about what the KSGOP is offering to candidates and volunteers, from precinct committee persons to US Congress. First is our data and volunteer platform, Numinar. Campaigns around Kansas are knocking doors, sending text messages, making calls, polling, and accessing voter data through this innovative software. If you’re a data junky like myself, the AI mapping of poll results across your whole dataset is one of the coolest ways I’ve seen AI used in politics. For example, I can ask 300 people in Miami County how they feel about lowering property taxes, and then Numinar can predict how other voters in Miami County will feel about lowering property taxes. After working with various data platforms in the campaign realm, Numinar is by far the best I’ve ever used. Don’t just take my word for it, CampaignTech awarded Numinar Best Software in 2023. The best part for candidates and volunteer across Kansas is that the KSGOP offers Numinar to all candidates and volunteers for free, if you need help getting started, reach out to me at [email protected]. As Executive Director, I’m happy to travel the state, talk about campaigns and elections, and offer trainings. If your group would like me to come speak, let me know. I have worked on various campaigns through the years and am happy to help elect Republicans in your area. KSGOP is also offering Non-Profit Mail to Republicans across Kansas. This allows campaigns to use our indicia – saving big money on postage. KSGOP has utilized this lower mail rate and text messaging, door knocking, and calling through Numinar to help Republicans win, leading to nearly 80% of Republicans winning in the last local election. While those numbers are great, we need your help to make them even better! Please sign up to volunteer at [link removed] or make a small donation today so that we can send texts and mailers across Kansas. After all, you are the reason we are able to win elections – the KSGOP grassroots is the second to none! If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to call, text, or email! It’s an honor to serve as your KSGOP Executive Director, Dakotah Parshall     Register to Vote NOW The importance of the 2024 elections in Kansas cannot be overstated. We must register every eligible voter, convince them to vote Republican, and make sure they get to the polls to get Kansas Republican candidates across the finish line and to get President Trump back in the White House! Please join us in sharing this information with your friends, family, neighbors, and folks at church. Right now is the time to win the November elections!

"Yes." And his main floor office? "Correct." And his third floor den? "Correct." At the University of Delaware? "Correct." And at the Biden Institute? "Correct." Was Biden, at any time, authorized to take classified documents? “No.” This is a weekly reminder that Joe Biden, President of the United States, and his son, Hunter Biden, are liars and kingpins in a crime syndicate ring. This is also your reminder Biden has weaponized the US Courts, DOJ, FBI, EPA, DOE, DOI, and the entirety of the US Federal Government AGAINST YOU. The Biden family has betrayed America, committing the crime of treason. They must be held accountable at the polls. #NeverForget   Americans overwhelmingly believe Joe Biden has failed as the President of the United States, is too old, and is mentally incapable of serving again. Joe Biden has failed on many topics over the last 3+ years, and here are just a few of those failures; Botched Afghanistan withdrawal plunging that country into Sharia Law and women of all ages into a miserable existence. Where are womens rights groups on this? America instantly surrendered energy independence for energy dependence simply because Joe Biden was grinding an ax. Where are the big labor unions on this? Inflation has skyrocketed and Biden thinks Americans are stupid and don't see and feel it. Where is YOUR voice promoting Republican principles and decrying this disastrous Administration? Make America Great Again!       Photo of Abraham Lincoln by Alexander Gardner November 8, 1863 “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.” Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address Saturday, March 4, 1865   2024 July 15-19 RNC Presidential Nominating Convention Fiserv Forum Milwaukee, WI July 16 Deadline to register to vote or update your voter registration information to participate in the 2024 primary election.
