Derek Schmidt "has a distressing history of playing with fascism"

"Kansas attorney general should stop playing footsie with fascism" -- The Kansas Reflector, opinion piece In case you missed it, The Kansas Reflector posted a scathing review of some of the choices Laura's opponent, Derek Schmidt, has made over the last few years. John, Schmidt's a…

counting on you

John, It's never been more important that we work together to fight for the future of our state. Our opponent's extreme right-wing supporters have made it clear they're willing to do whatever it takes to defeat us and elect Sam Brownback 2.0 to the governor's office. It's only a matter of time b…

sorry it's late, but we have a quick update for you

John, we know it's late so we'll keep this short. We just did a final check in ActBlue and we're not quite where we need to be if we're going to hit our September mid-month fundraising goal by midnight tomorrow. Can we count on your immediate support to make a donation of $5 or more right now? …

$3 for the future of Kansas

Hey John, what if I told you a $3 donation today could change the outcome of Laura's re-election campaign? If you knew a $3 donation would ensure Laura can continue to fight for our economy, schools, and infrastructure, would you donate? If you knew a $3 donation would help us put up new ads …

Sam Brownback 2.0

John, I'm going to cut straight to the point: if Derek Schmidt is elected, we risk four years of Sam Brownback 2.0. All of the progress that we've made over the last four years will be under attack. Schmidt and far right dark money groups have made it abundantly clear they are willing to do wh…

Derek Schmidt

What today means

Happy Labor Day, John! Today is about much more than a day off work or the unofficial end to summer, and I want to make sure we never forget why we celebrate. The labor movement started a revolution in the workplace. Years ago, workers from across the country came together and demanded certain …

Safety is my top priority for our students

Thank you

Usually the summer months of the off-year are a slower fundraising time for campaigns like ours. In fact, when we started our end-of-month fundraising push, I was worried we wouldn't hit our crucial $15,000 goal. But when my team and I reached out asking for your continued support, you stepped u…

We made an error, John. Let us explain. We were going over the numbers for the month and discovered a small error in our math. This means we aren't as close to hitting our end-of-month fundraising goal as we thought. We're not going to tell you the sky is falling -- because it's not. But this do…

John, The end of the month is quickly approaching, which means we need to hit our August end-of-month goal to fight back. But I'll be honest, our fundraising this summer has been lower than what we anticipated. We need to pick up the pace before midnight on the 31st if we're going to hit our $1…
