John, This team is a true grassroots movement. It's heartwarming to continue to have your support and dedication to rebuild Kansas into a state where everyone can thrive -- regardless of their socioeconomic status, where they come from, or who they love. Hitting our January fundraising goal wa…

one last message before our midnight deadline

John, I'm going to keep this short. Tonight at midnight we're facing our first end-of-month fundraising deadline of the new year. Right now, we're only $3,305 short of hitting our $15,000 goal. Hitting these monthly goals is crucial to making sure we can stay on track to build a better Kansas. …

It's Kansas' birthday!

Happy Kansas Day, John! It's hard to believe that 159 years ago, Kansas officially became a state. Today, all across Kansas, people are celebrating our statehood, and schools are participating in school field trips and special projects to learn and celebrate our shared history. Laura is ready …

John, we need to raise $15,000 to stay on track, can we count on you?

Hey John, in a few moments we're going to ask you to chip in $5 or whatever you can to help us hit our January end-of-month fundraising goal, but first we want to tell you why it's so important. In her State of the State address, Laura highlighted the accomplishments we've made since she took o…

Help me wish Laura a happy birthday!

John, I know Frances reached out to you yesterday about Laura's birthday (I know, I'm just as curious as you are about how she pulled that off), but I just wanted to take a minute to reach out to you one last time. Later today, our team is going to give Laura a birthday card to show her how mu…

This secret is pawsitively amazing

The cat's out of the bag John! My mom's birthday is coming up, and I've taken it upon myself to take over her email account to ask for your help once again. My mom has been really busy since the state legislature reconvened (meaning I'm getting a lot less attention than I should be), so I want …

Why I marched

John, Two years ago, I joined thousands of women and men at the Women’s March in Topeka, where I announced my campaign for governor. I remember watching as the crowd grew from hundreds to thousands flooding the Capitol grounds. It was an inspiring event at a challenging time -- and that memory s…

What 2020 has in store for Kansas

John, Last year during my State of the State address, I called on members of the Kansas legislature to put aside partisan differences and join forces to fight for our students, working families, and economy -- and we accomplished so much. The last twelve months were monumental for Kansas, take a…

This is our chance to come together

John, Yesterday, the Kansas legislature reconvened for the 2020 session. I am hopeful and ready to work with legislators from both parties to ensure we can continue to move our state forward. As always, I remain committed to fighting for the issues that matter most to you -- investing in educati…

How you can help Laura fight for Kansas in 2020

John, It's a new year, and we want to make sure we start it on the right foot. Today marks the start of the 2020 legislative session and Laura is focused on continuing to move Kansas forward -- from fighting to expand KanCare to investing in our economy. But she needs your help to make her 2020…

the first step toward Medicaid expansion

We have some exciting news to share with you, John! After weeks of meetings and negotiations, Laura and Republican Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning have announced a bipartisan proposal to expand Medicaid while lowering health insurance premiums for Kansas families. This is a huge victory for …

the last email you'll receive from me this year

We're only a few hours away from officially closing the books on 2019, but before you head out to celebrate New Year's Eve, I have one final request. Earlier today Tom told me we're only $1,038 away from hitting our $20,000 end-of-year fundraising goal. John, we're too close to miss this important…

before you ring in the new year

Tonight we say goodbye 2019 and welcome the new opportunities of 2020. But before our team can celebrate the new year, we have one last request: will you pitch in $5 or more right now to help us raise the last $4,295 we need to hit our $20,000 end-of-year fundraising goal? Laura has been working…

John, this isn't good

I don't have great news for you right now, John. I've been crunching our fundraising numbers on the month and right now, we're not where we need to be if we want to hit our $20,000 goal. But, I did the math and if we can raise $3,206 right now, we'll be back on track to hit our goal. Will you st…

re: tomorrow's deadline

Hey John -- I'll be blunt: we have less than 36 hours until our critical end-of-year fundraising deadline and we're not quite where we need to be in terms of fundraising. I've been going over the numbers and we only need 17 more people from Washington to pitch in $20.19 or more in the last hours…

I'm ready to roll up my sleeves

John, Our victories over the last year were only the beginning. As we near my second legislative session as your governor, it's clear we still have a way to go to rebuild Kansas. In order to fight for our students, economy, and workers, it's important that we start the new year off on the right…

I want to hear from you directly, John

John, My priorities are your priorities, and I'm proud to represent the people of Kansas as your governor. Together, we're rebuilding our state -- one day at a time. The other day, my team reached out to you to ask what issues are on your mind as we look ahead to the 2020 legislative session. Whe…

Laura's priorities

Hey John, The 2020 legislative session is quickly approaching and Laura is focused on bettering Kansas' future. During the next session, she's going to continue to focus on the issues that matter most to Kansans -- and that's where you come in. The only way Laura knows what issues to focus on i…

this email will take less than two minutes to read

John -- this email is short. Since Tom emailed you the other day letting you know we're falling behind on our fundraising goal this month, we've seen a surge in donations from folks like you. However, we're still not quite where we need to be. Don't wait -- chip in $5 or whatever you can right …

re: my conversation with Tom

Hey John, Yesterday I met with Tom to touch base on our December fundraising, and unfortunately he had some bad news to share: we're still falling behind on our $10,000 goal. I know he reached out to you yesterday about this, and even with all the help we received, Tom told me we still need to rai…

I don't have good news

I'm going to be honest with you, John: we're not where we need to be in terms of our December fundraising. I've been tracking our numbers and if we want to stay on track to hit our December fundraising goal, we need to raise $10,000 by midnight on Sunday. Can we count on you to help us get back …

Not a list I want to be on

Hey John, Did you know Kansas is one of only 14 states that have yet to expand KanCare to help the citizens, hospitals and communities? I don't know about you, but that's not a list I want to be part of. That's why I made expanding KanCare at the front of my campaign for governor. It's time to …

why recurring donations matter

John, Before you head out to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to tell you why it's so important that we hit our end-of-month fundraising goal. The money we raise every month helps us continue to reach voters across the state in off-years. We want to make sure every Kansan knows how La…
