![]() We wanted to make sure you heard the news: This week, the Kansas Senate officially gathered enough signatures to call for a special redistricting session on November 7th. But that’s just half the battle: Republicans in the state House are still falling short of the necessary supermajority.
We don’t want to sugarcoat this latest update for you: This is a step in the wrong direction — but it’s not entirely unexpected. Stopping this redistricting push in the state Senate was always going to be a high bar to clear. But the state House? That’s where we can win. There’s a reason why House Republicans in Topeka haven’t lined up behind Trump’s gerrymander, despite weeks of pressure from GOP leadership: It’s because these lawmakers can feel our pressure too. We’ve been saying it for months: We know Kansas Republicans are extremely unlikely to do the right thing… just because it’s the right thing. But if we build enough grassroots momentum to make their next election just a little bit tougher? It could be enough to end Trump’s gerrymander for good. But that only happens if we keep up the noise. Victory won’t be handed to us. We have to keep working for it, every second of every day — and that’s why Sharice needs your help.
