Hi there,

My name is Barbara Bollier, and I'm running for U.S. Senate in Kansas. I'm a physician, a wife, a mother, and a public servant. Senator Hassan said that I could take a few minutes to introduce myself and share a bit more about why I'm going to win this race. But before I do, I'm going to ask you to donate $3 or whatever you can spare ahead of Friday's July fundraising deadline.
Let me start by saying: I used to be a Republican.

I've been in Kansas politics since 2010, serving first in the Kansas House of Representatives, then in the State Senate. As a doctor, I've always looked at what the facts tell me, and tried to find common sense solutions to our problems. I earned a reputation as a leader who could work with folks on both sides of the aisle to deliver results.

But I found that the Kansas Republican party was losing its way. In the State Senate, I was alienated for my support of reproductive rights, Medicaid expansion, and funding for K-12 schools. I was tired of the Kansas GOP's hard-line rhetoric, and their unwillingness to compromise and put children and families ahead of politics.

When the Kansas GOP adopted language that discriminated against vulnerable communities in their party platform in 2018, I'd had enough. I could not be in a party that was moving to the extreme right, away from the mainstream views held by my constituents, Americans at-large and me. I left the GOP, and I haven't looked back.

Republicans have held both Senate seats in my state since the Great Depression--but this year, we can change that. The latest polls have me leading my likely Republican opponent, Kris Kobach, by one point. And with the support of groups like EMILY's List, End Citizens United, Off the Sidelines and this community, we'll have the resources to flip this seat--and with it, flip the Senate.

My campaign has a huge fundraising deadline on Friday, and my team tells me we're coming up short on our goal. Can I count on you to contribute $3 or whatever you can afford to help me WIN this race and flip the Senate?

I'm deeply grateful for your support,

Barbara
