A quick fundraising update

John, I wanted to take a moment to give you a quick update on our mid-month fundraising goal. I just got off the phone with my Finance Director, Lexie, and she let me know that after our email yesterday, we saw a massive increase in our online donations. But I'll be honest, it wasn't the push we…

Our opponents want to make Laura a one-term governor

Did you catch what Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight said about Laura? Take a look: FiveThirtyEight: "Laura Kelly [is] arguably the most endangered incumbent governor running in 2022." No, this isn't a late April Fool's prank, FiveThirtyEight is actually calling Laura one of the mo…
