John, it's Sen. Dinah Sykes.
I won't sugarcoat this—the 2025 session went worse than many folks could imagine.
Republicans had a massive supermajority in both chambers, meaning the ball was in their court.
They codified fetal personhood and advanced their anti-abortion agenda, and they overrode more of the Governor's vetoes than they have since she was elected in 2018.
Speaker Hawkins even said, “they could debate things for hours. We’re just going to sit there and let them talk and in the end, we’re going to vote and we’re going to win.”
But what did they actually "win" for Kansans?
The Republican supermajorities couldn't deliver meaningful tax relief like they promised on the campaign trail.
The Republican supermajorities passed a budget that puts Kansas in a half-billion-dollar budget hole in just a few years.
The Republican supermajorities attacked our right to vote by undoing a bipartisan mail-in ballot agreement.
John, Republicans show us time and time again that they're all talk, with no meaningful, positive action.
Legislative Democrats fought hard to push back during session. Now our biggest focus is on the 2025 and 2026 races that will get Kansans results. That work starts now.
Today, can you chip in to help the Kansas Democratic Party support candidates that will stand up for everyday Kansans and make real change for our state?
