Email from Kansas Republican Party Kansas and National Political News, Opinions and a Few Giggles, too!       DEFENDING KANSAS SAVING AMERICA   DONATE VOLUNTEER   KSGOP State Committee Meeting Location Announced by Mike Brown, Chairman The Kansas Republican Party     Announcement from the Chairman of the Kansas Republican Party As Chairman of the Kansas Republican Party, it is my honor to announce that the KSGOP State Committee Meeting will take place on Saturday, March 1, 2025, in Goodland, Kansas. Hosting this important meeting in the western part of our state reflects our commitment to engaging all Kansas communities, large and small. This region of our Great State, often overlooked, is deserving of our attention and support. By gathering in Goodland, our visit will provide measurable economic benefits to both the city of Goodland and Sherman County, something we cannot as easily achieve in larger metropolitan areas like Overland Park, Wichita, or Topeka. I am proud that the KSGOP prioritizes inclusivity in our planning and representation and we all look forward to spending time in beautiful Goodland, KS. The good people of Northwest Kansas are thrilled to welcome us, and we are equally honored to be their guests in this remarkable part of our great state. I encourage all attendees to explore and enjoy everything Goodland has to offer—and take a moment to thank the local community for their hospitality and contributions to Kansas. More details can be expected in next weeks Friday File (if not sooner) so stay tuned. We look forward to seeing you in Goodland as we come together in unity and to strengthen our shared Conservative Republican vision for Kansas!

Kristi and I will be in Washington, D.C., to witness the swearing-in of our next president and vice president. Yet, as I look back on this journey, I’m struck by the immense effort that brought us here—the tireless nights of strategizing until 1 AM, then rising before dawn to meet crucial deadlines, and countless miles of driving and bus tours across the great state of Kansas. Each moment has shaped our path. Serving as the Kansas GOP Chairman for nearly two years has been a marathon with a singular focus—securing the presidency to help save America. While other races, down-ballot and local, are undoubtedly important, my commitment has always been clear: by galvanizing support and funding local initiatives, we could guide Americans back to the Republican Party. And I have been proven right. I’ve had the privilege of witnessing incredible Kansans like Kristi Brown, Maria Holiday, Paula Carr and Denise Vocasek, along with thousands of others, pour their hearts into driving conservative Republican change within their communities. And I have seen my executive team bond together like a family, providing the encouragement and support necessary to get the job done. Yes, there were moments when well-meaning individuals missed the mark, and detractors tried to undermine our efforts, but none of that deterred me. In fact, it fueled my resolve. Watching Donald Trump stand unwavering in the face of relentless opposition became my inspiration. He bore the brunt of criticism, threats, and attempts to assasinate and incarcerate him yet faced it all with courage and resilience. I drew strength from his example as I led the KSGOP, and it ultimately helped us achieve what we set out to do in early 2023. Now, as I prepare to witness my friend, Donald J. Trump, taking the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, I know I will be asking myself, “How did I get HERE?” The answer is simple: with your support and a relentless spirit of hard work that, apart from Kristi, few truly witnessed. If you’ve learned one thing about me, it’s this: I don’t quit. I don’t cave. I keep my head down and push forward. Sound familiar? Yes, #47. America is Saved.
