John,
Days after Dr. Fauci warned reopening prematurely would cause "needless suffering and death," Susan Wagle is playing politics - again - in an attempt to undermine Governor Kelly.
Yesterday, Susan Wagle made a Hail Mary attempt to gain leverage over Governor Kelly, stating “We won’t allow one dictator to determine everything… We will have a check and a balance of power...” Yes, this is the same Susan Wagle who has single-handedly held Medicaid expansion hostage for up to 150,000 Kansans before and during an unprecedented pandemic - the exact circumstances in which people need healthcare to survive.
Governor Kelly has shown the nation what real leadership looks like during this crisis, she made tough decisions early on that mitigated the spread of COVID-19 in our communities, and she developed a comprehensive plan to reopen Kansas safely.
It shouldn’t be a novel concept for our legislators to work together and listen to public health experts to keep Kansans safe during a crisis. That’s why, with your help, we must break the Republican supermajority in the Kansas Legislature by electing commonsense Democrats who will work together to advocate for all of us. We know these are extraordinary times, but the COVID-19 pandemic has only heightened the stakes of the 2020 election. Can you chip in $20, $35, or $50 to help us recruit, train and elect Democrats across the Sunflower State?
