We need to make sure you saw this message — it’s really important.

As Sharice spells out below, this gerrymandering battle isn’t about Democrats versus Republicans. It isn’t even about Sharice versus Donald Trump either.

This battle is about uniting every Kansan — Republican and Democrat, urban and rural alike — who believes the federal government doesn’t need even more power over our lives.

Take a moment to read Sharice’s full note below, then pitch in a few dollars to make sure Kansas Democrats aren’t silenced in the next election.

Hey there, this is Sharice. I’m sorry to reach out over the weekend, but this is a pivotal moment in the battle to keep KS-03 out of Donald Trump’s hands, and our entire campaign is treating it like one. If you’re with me, and you’re able to give, I’d be so grateful to have your support today.

Let’s be real: The last few weeks have been wild and overwhelming for everyone here at Campaign HQ. And yet, the fight is only getting started.

In just a few days, Republicans in the Kansas legislature will travel to the White House to take marching orders directly from Donald Trump — and right after that, things will happen fast:

Kansas GOP leadership will call for a special legislative session. Republican politicians will work as quickly, and quietly, as possible to gerrymander this seat. The public outcry will intensify.

That third part is the key to winning this fight.

Sustained public outcry is the most effective tool we have right now. After all, we all know these extreme politicians aren’t going to do the right thing just because it’s the right thing.

But if we put enough pressure on these extreme politicians — enough for them to truly feel the outrage, the anger, and the momentum on our side — they’ll understand just how many political consequences will come with Donald Trump’s gerrymander.

And that’s exactly why your support, your voice, and your protests make a difference.

To be completely candid, I can’t persuade these extreme politicians to back off Trump’s gerrymander on my own. But when thousands of Kansans — Democrat, Republican, and unaffiliated alike — are willing to stand up and speak out, things change. That’s why I need your help:

We have the people on our side, and we all feel that. But keeping that momentum in the weeks to come will require an enormous amount of resolve, perseverance, and yes, grassroots support. If you could pitch in today and help our team keep pushing back, it would go a long, long way right now.

Thanks so much,

Sharice
