Not a list I want to be on

Hey John, Did you know Kansas is one of only 14 states that have yet to expand KanCare to help the citizens, hospitals and communities? I don't know about you, but that's not a list I want to be part of. That's why I made expanding KanCare at the front of my campaign for governor. It's time to …

one last update

John -- I have one last update for you: we're less than 12 hours away from our end-of-month fundraising deadline -- but we're still a little short on hitting our $15,000 goal. Laura has been hard at work fighting for Kansans, and now it's time for us to step up and show her we’ve got her back. W…

why recurring donations matter

John, Before you head out to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to tell you why it's so important that we hit our end-of-month fundraising goal. The money we raise every month helps us continue to reach voters across the state in off-years. We want to make sure every Kansan knows how La…

staying on track

John, We're on the right path to build a better Kansas for everyone who calls this state home. But now, we need to make sure we end November on a strong note, that's why my team set a $15,000 goal we need to hit by Saturday at midnight to stay on track. Will you chip in now to help us get there?…

I'm fighting for you

John, As your governor, I made an important promise to the people of this state: that I would put the fight for education, equality, and opportunity for all at the front of my administration. Since then, my administration has been focused on how we can improve the lives of everyday Kansans. Tog…

Frances has a point

Hey John, We were just as surprised as you to see an email from the first cat, Frances, hit our inboxes yesterday, but she made a good point: Laura has been hard at work fighting to build a better Kansas for all -- and she can't do it alone. We're up against our November mid-month fundraising dea…

Looking back on the last year

John, it's been one year since our monumental win in Kansas. Looking back on the last year, we've already accomplished so much in our state -- we balanced our state's budget, funded our schools, improved our foster care system, and so much more. It's been an honor to work for Kansans over the l…

Last month

Hey John, Every month, when we ask you to pitch in toward our end-of-month goal, you step up. Without your support each month, we wouldn't be able to spread Laura's plans to rebuild Kansas to people across the state. And this month was no different. Generous supporters like you showed up and n…

John, As a member of Laura's finance team, it's my job to track our fundraising numbers and make sure we stay on track to hit every goal we set. One of those goals is tracking how many monthly sustaining donations we have. While it may seem like Laura's re-election is still too far away to care…

It's time to pass Medicaid expansion in Kansas

On the right track

The governor Kansans deserve
