Hope in Kansas

I went to the Johnson County Dem meetup tonight and met several impressive candidates.

Don Weiss is running for state board of education in southern Jo Co. The seat is currently occupied by a RW talibornagain. Don's website is www.DonWeiss.org

No offense to Don but Mickey Mouse could be running and I would recommend voting for him over that fundie on the board now. We need to restore sanity to that state board and a vote for Don will do that. I asked Don if he believed in evolution and he said yes. That's enough for me :)

Andy Sandler is running for state rep in the 24th district (my district!) in NE Jo Co. He is an impressive liberal Democrat, just what we need more of in Kansas. Andy's website is www.andyforkansas.com

Andy is having a kickoff campaign celebration on Monday, April 24 at Lucky Brewgrille at 5401 Johnson Drive in Mission from 6:00 to 8:00. Suggested donation $25

Missy Taylor is running for state rep in Roeland Park. She is having a fiesta fundraiser Thursday, April 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 at Torero's in Fairway, 4200 Shawnee Mission Parkway. Suggested donation $25


Hint hint - all candidates need $$$ so put a crowbar on your wallets folks. We need to take this state back from the RW.

If you need more info regarding the fundraisers, PM me.

A friend just called to ask if someone was contesting Moore and I just hopped on to see if you might have some info!

Hope you are doing well.
