August Newsletter

Greetings all, 
     Last month brought a wave of Republican announcements for the Kansas Governor’s race, while on the Democratic side, Ethan Corson announced his run along with Cindy Holscher, who announced her candidacy back in June. Holsher is currently the State Senator for District 8. If you are new to our newsletter, Welcome! Please remember that we will have several opportunities coming up in support of Democratic candidates running in various seats in the elections next year! The rallies and protests are great for getting attention to certain issues, but all of the rallies and protests are for nothing if Democratic candidates do not actually win elections and we need your help!

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Help local organizations reach out to voters
  • Help organize events and mobilize volunteers

Run for Office Yourself!
