John,

Yesterday, the Washington Post Opinion page issued a scathing review of Mike Pompeo's tenure as Secretary of State, calling him "the worst Secretary of State in history." We already know Mike Pompeo has let his political ambitions get in the way of representing the best interests of hardworking Kansans and all Americans, but here are a few of Mike Pompeo's worst moments from the Washington Post: 

• "Mike Pompeo has presided over the collapse of negotiations with North Korea, the failure of a pressure campaign against Iran and an abortive attempt to oust Venezuela’s authoritarian regime. On his watch, China has carried out genocide in its Xinjiang region and the suppression of Hong Kong’s freedoms without resistance from Washington until it was too late."
• "In staff surveys [at the State Department], there has been a 34 percent increase between 2016 and 2019 in those who say the State Department’s senior leaders “did not maintain high levels of honesty and integrity.” Maybe that’s because Pompeo himself has defied legal mandates from Congress, skirted a law restricting arms sales to Saudi Arabia, tasked staffers with carrying out errands for himself and his wife, and fired the inspector general who was investigating his violations."
• "Pompeo’s steering of it has led to some of the worst diplomatic damage the United States has suffered in decades — especially in relations with its closest allies."

Mike Pompeo shouldn't serve four more years as Secretary of State and he certainly shouldn't be able to turn his failed Secretary of State career into a Presidential campaign in the future. Let's send a clear message to Mike Pompeo and Donald Trump by electing Democrats up and down the ballot in Kansas. We know hardworking Kansans are ready for change, can you take a stand against the current administration by donating to the KDP's 2020 Coordinated Campaign?
