This won't be smooth sailing

John, I need to take a moment to share with you why hitting our February end-of-month fundraising goal is absolutely crucial. The road to re-election isn't all smooth sailing. Campaigns like ours rely on grassroots support to ensure success. Folks like you help us stay on track to reach vote…

Here's the deal

John, Here's the situation: Inside Elections just released their first rating for Laura's re-election and it confirmed our worst fears -- they're calling Laura "Democrats' most endangered incumbent on the map." Here's what that means for our grassroots campaign: Every dollar we raise could m…

Listening to and lifting up Black voices

John, Black History Month gives us a chance to reflect on the movements that changed our country for the better and shows us the progress we can still make. Black leaders are the backbone of our society. Leaders like Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and John Lewis fought for equality duri…

Tonight's extended deadline

Hey John -- this email is short, but it needs your immediate attention. Tonight at midnight is our extended mid-month fundraising deadline and we're still not where we need to be to hit our goal. Hitting our fundraising goals is so important in a campaign like ours. Every dollar we raise mean…

looking over our fundraising numbers (not good)

Hey John, I was just going over our fundraising numbers for the month, and I wish I had better news to share. Yesterday, we fell short of hitting our February mid-month fundraising goal, which means we're not on track to hit our February fundraising goal. That's not the news I want to share …

Let me explain

John, I wanted to take a minute to explain why it's so important that we focus on investing early in campaigns like ours. Early investments are crucial when planning any campaign -- and it's especially true when you're running in a state that both The Kansas City Star and Cook Political Repo…

How you can conserve energy in sub-zero temperatures

John, As extreme cold temperatures continue across the state, many of our friends, family, and neighbors are experiencing power and heat outages in their homes. I'm urging all Kansans to do their part to conserve energy so we can ensure a continued supply of natural gas and electricity as we …

Why it's important to hit our fundraising goals early on:

John -- we need to level with you: we're worried. Both The Kansas City Star and Cook Political Report are saying that Laura is one of the most vulnerable governors up for re-election in 2022. That means our potential opponents are keeping a close eye on our grassroots campaign and they're loo…

The fight against COVID-19 isn't over

John, For nearly a year, we've been battling the COVID-19 pandemic. It's turned our world upside down and we've had to face challenges unlike ever before. However, we are Kansans. When things get hard, we work together and persevere. We've had to adjust to working remotely, wearing masks, stayi…

FWD: early investments

Hey John -- did you catch Tom's email yesterday? One of our first (and maybe most important) steps toward winning in 2022 is showing any potential Republican opponents the strength of our grassroots movement. We know that Republicans have their sights set on taking back the governor's office, b…

Join EMILY's List, become an early 2022 supporter

Early investments are how we're going to win in 2022, John. Laura is an outspoken advocate for Kansans, and she's proven she will take decisive action to protect their health and the economy. She puts people before politics. From championing the interests of rural businesses to fighting for qua…

Expanding Medicaid is possible and affordable. Here's how:

John, Did you know that Kansas is one of just 12 states who have yet to expand Medicaid? Did you know that more than 160,000 Kansans would benefit from Medicaid expansion? Medicaid expansion is critical to Kansas' COVID-19 recovery. Expansion creates jobs, supports a healthy workforce, and imp…

Committed

John, In 2018, Kansans were fed up with the failed policies of past administrations, so we built a grassroots team capable of bringing change to our state. Thanks to all of you, I was elected as the 48th governor of Kansas. It's been two years and I'm not done fighting for a stronger, healthier…

Nothing worth fighting for comes easy
