Press Release: Amanda Adkins Visits the Southern Border as Sharice Davids Remains Silent on the Border Crisis She Created

(TOPEKA, Kan.) – Amanda Adkins, Republican candidate for KS-03 is traveling to the McAllen, Texas border this week to witness the Biden Border Crisis firsthand. While Adkins makes the trip to Texas, Sharice Davids remains silent on the border crisis she helped create. Illicit drugs are flowing into the country at an alarming rate. Drug overdoses reached an all-time high in 2021 due to Joe Biden and Sharice Davids’ open border policies. 2,071 pounds of deadly fentanyl – the equivalent of more than 469 million lethal doses – were seized at the southern border in July alone. More fentanyl

Press Release: KSGOP Denounces Deceitful Ads from KDP and Sharice Davids

(TOPEKA, Kan.) – On Thursday, the Kansas Republican Party denounced the deceitful ads from the KDP and Sharice Davids’ campaign about Amanda Adkins’ record on abortion. Despite the lies that continue to come from Sharice Davids, the record clearly shows that Amanda Adkins has never called for a federal ban on abortion. Adkins is pro-life and has repeatedly stated that voters should make decisions about abortion in their states, not the federal government. In contrast, Davids wants the federal government to make decisions on abortion, not Kansans. Davids supports legalizing third-trimester abortions, taxpayer-funded abortions, and gender-selective abortions nationwide.

Press Release: The Radical Left is Pushing to Defund the Police and Fund Unrestricted Abortions in Kansas

(TOPEKA, Kan.) – In Kansas, the radical left is pushing to fully fund unrestricted abortions and defund the police. URGE Kansas, a group associated with the anti-Value Them Both coalition promotes an extreme agenda that believes in “a world beyond policing“ and uses the slogan “fund abortions, not cops.” “Violent crime is spiking throughout the country due to the defund the police movement and the Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies,” said Shannon Pahls, KSGOP Executive Director. “Now, in Kansas, radical organizations working against the Value Them Both amendment are broadcasting their agenda to defund the police and fund abortions with no restrictions whatsoever.

Press Release: Laura Kelly Failed to Secure Jobs or Pay Commitment from Panasonic

(TOPEKA, Kan.) – Governor Laura Kelly failed to secure the thousands of jobs she promised Kansans through the Panasonic plant agreement. Not only was she unable to secure jobs but she also did not ensure minimum wage or salary standards, a critical component of any economic incentive package. Nathan Jensen, a professor at the University of Texas-Austin who studies economic development incentives told the Kansas City Star: “My jaw is dropping that there aren’t wage and labor standards. That is economic development 101. That is shocking.” “Laura Kelly gave over $800 million in taxpayer-funded incentives in a secret deal to a

Press Release: Laura Kelly’s Bad Week

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 7, 2022 For more information contact: Shannon Pahls Executive Director, KSGOP shannon@kansasgop.kinsta.cloud Laura Kelly’s Mistakes are Piling Up This Week (TOPEKA, Kan.) – When Kansas voters send Governor Laura Kelly packing this November it will be because of some of the very big mistakes she has made this week. From refusing to condemn violence from a pro-abortion activist in Winfield last week to cheering on the Joe Biden recession saying “bring it on,” to opening the door to gun control and even more abortions than the 13.5% increase seen since the start of her term, to losing a key endorsement due to ongoing scandal and turmoil caused

Governor Laura Kelly welcomes an economic recession.

As inflation rips into family budgets, Governor Laura Kelly welcomes an economic recession. This week when talking about Joe Biden’s recession, Laura Kelly said “bring it on.” Gov. Laura Kelly: “You hear people talking about, you know, a recession coming. Bring it on!” So what is Laura Kelly’s response to a recession, $5 gas, decimated retirements, and inflation at a 40-year high due to Joe Biden and her own big-government agenda? “Bring it on.” Kansans deserve better and they will hold Laura Kelly and the Democrats accountable at the ballot box this November.

Kelly Must Condemn Pro-Abortion Violence, Intimidation in Kansas (TOPEKA, Kan.) – Following an attack on the Cowley County GOP office in Winfield last week, the Kansas Republican Party is calling on Governor Laura Kelly to condemn violence and intimidation from pro-abortion activists: “As Kansas prepares for our primary and general elections this year, voters need to feel safe and confident knowing we are still a state that resolves its differences at the ballot box,” said Mike Kuckelman, KSGOP Chairman. “Kansans want and deserve an

Press Release: Laura Kelly Deserves Zero Credit for KPERS Bill

(TOPEKA, Kan.) – For the second day in a row, Laura Kelly is flip-flopping to take credit for a popular Republican-led initiative after years of previously opposing it. “Laura Kelly is attempting to claim full credit for a measure that was proposed by Derek Schmidt and brought across the finish line by Republicans in the Kansas Legislature to reduce our KPERS debt,” said Shannon Pahls, KSGOP Executive Director. “In fact, on multiple occasions, she has proposed to add billions of dollars in debt for taxpayers and vetoed a previous bill to make an additional KPERS payment in 2019. Laura Kelly’s election-year conversion continues, but

BREAKING: Kelly’s Abortion Lobby Backers Bring Big Spending to Kansas

(TOPEKA, Kan.) – A new Politico report out this morning announced the abortion lobby plans to show up big for Democrat Laura Kelly this year: “A trio of pro-abortion rights groups is rolling out a $150 million spending plan ahead of the 2022 midterms. The groups — Planned Parenthood Action Fund, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and EMILY’s List — will spend the nine-figure investment on paid ads, field programs, messaging research, and polling in nine states, all of which feature top congressional and gubernatorial races this fall. The spending will be spread across offices up and down the ballot, from state legislative races to

NEW DATA: Kansas Abortions Continue to Climb Under Gov. Laura Kelly

(TOPEKA, Kan.) – Abortions in Kansas increased again last year under Democrat Governor Laura Kelly, according to new data from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Kansas has seen an increase of nearly 13.5% in just three years as a result of Kelly’s policies making Kansas the abortion “sanctuary” of the Midwest. Nine hundred thirty-three more abortions were performed last year than in 2019, Laura Kelly’s first year in office. “The drastic rise of abortions in Kansas under Laura Kelly is a direct result of her efforts to make the state a ‘sanctuary’ for late-term abortion,” said Shannon Pahls, Kansas GOP Executive Director. “Kelly

RELEASE: KSGOP Blasts Governor Kelly’s Good Friday Veto Spree

(TOPEKA, Kan.) – Governor Laura Kelly spent Good Friday vetoing critical legislation on fairness in women’s sports, the Parents’ Bill of Rights, and work requirements for able-bodied Kansans receiving food stamps. The Kansas Republican Party released the following statement in response: “Today, Governor Laura Kelly put her liberal politics ahead of Kansas parents, students, and taxpayers,” said Shannon Pahls, KSGOP Executive Director. “Laura Kelly’s veto of the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act is a slap in the face to the female athletes who fought for their right to compete simply because the Governor refuses to acknowledge biological science. Her

KSGOP Calls on Governor Kelly to Sign Bill Banning Sanctuary Cities

(TOPEKA, Kan.) – Today, the Kansas Legislature passed a bill that would prohibit sanctuary cities in the state. The legislation which received bipartisan support has been spearheaded by Attorney General Derek Schmidt and comes after Wyandotte County passed an ordinance creating a sanctuary city that would block police from cooperating or reporting to Immigration and Customs enforcement. “Sanctuary cities and their policies go against the rule of law and only exacerbate the crisis at our border,” said Shannon Pahls, KSGOP Executive Director. “While Laura Kelly has refused to speak out against Joe Biden’s border crisis, deadly drugs like fentanyl are flowing over our border and into

NEW REPORT: Laura Kelly Ranks in Bottom Half of all U.S. Governors

(TOPEKA, Kan.) – Democrat Governor Laura Kelly ranks 27th out of all 50 U.S. governors, according to a new report from the American Legislative Exchange Council. Governors in neighboring states all ranked in the top half with fellow Democrat Governor Jared Polis of Colorado ranking fourth overall, and Republican governors in Nebraska, Missouri, and Oklahoma ranking 11th, 12th, and 16th, respectively. The rankings are based on three measurable performance categories — executive policy, economic performance, and fiscal policy. Kelly ranked in the bottom half for two of the three metrics. “Kansas is continuously outperformed by our neighbors because of Laura Kelly’s failed leadership,” said

Press Release: Kansas GOP calls out Laura Kelly’s State of the State claim

The facts don’t back up her self-congratulating speech TOPEKA, KS – Governor Laura Kelly made a lot of bold and inaccurate claims during her State of the State address, but this particular excerpt was jarring: “I also welcome and thank my Cabinet Secretaries who are seated behind me in the west gallery. The COVID-19 pandemic brought challenges for every agency – and I could not have asked for a better, more prepared team. They have not only faced those challenges head-on, but each of them has steered their agency to be more fiscally responsible, more nimble, more efficient, and more

KSGOP Statement on Joe Biden’s Forced Vaccine Mandate TOPEKA, KS – Kansas Republican Party Chairman Mike Kuckelman issued the following statement on the Biden Administration’s forced vaccine mandate: “Joe Biden promised to “shut down the virus.” He failed. He promised there would be no vaccine mandates. He lied. Now, he wants Kansans to lose their jobs if they don’t comply with his unconstitutional vaccine mandate. While vaccines are a safe way to protect against the virus, the federal government has no authority to force this mandate on private businesses. Unfortunately, we have a governor who refuses to speak out against Joe Biden’s

Press Release: Kelly’s Unwillingness to Address Border Crisis

KSGOP Statement on Kelly’s Unwillingness to Address Border Crisis TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party today issued the following statement on Governor Laura Kelly’s unwillingness to call on her Party to address the Biden border crisis or offer Kansas support to combat the surge in illegal crossings and fentanyl trafficking: Kansas GOP Chairman Mike Kuckelman commented: “Yesterday, more than half the nation’s governors called on President Biden to take immediate action to address the surge of illegal crossings and drug trafficking along the southern border, but Laura Kelly has remained silent. The Democrat-controlled federal government has failed to take action to address the

KSGOP Statement on President Biden’s COVID Mandates

KSGOP Statement on President Biden’s COVID Mandates TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party today issued the following statement on President Biden imposing COVID mandates on private businesses and Governor Laura Kelly’s silence on the issue: Kansas GOP Chairman Mike Kuckelman commented: “Yesterday, Joe Biden showed his complete disregard for states’ authority and issued an attack on businesses across the country. Biden is forcing an unconstitutional, un-American federal decree on businesses and families. The federal government has no authority to force private businesses in Kansas to mandate vaccines for employees. Kansas businesses are still recovering from the pandemic and the Kelly Administration’s failed

Press Release: Fed Chair Says Gov. Kelly’s “Very Generous Unemployment Benefits” Are Keeping People From Work

Fed Chair Says Gov. Kelly’s “Very Generous Unemployment Benefits” Are Keeping People From WorkTOPEKA, KS –The verdict is in: The Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve says federal unemployment benefits are to blame for record-high unemployment. Today, Chairman Powell explained that the difficulty businesses are seeing in hiring is due to “very generous unemployment benefits,” and, that once the unemployment benefits are terminated, “we should see strong job creation moving forward.” Kelly has ignored requests from Kansas businesses and the majority in the legislature to end the supplemental benefits. But now, even the federal government is admitting that Democrat governors like Laura Kelly are making it

Kelly’s Silence on Border Security

Topeka, KS – Last week, as the Biden Administration failed to control the unprecedented drug and human trafficking crisis at our border, Governors Doug Ducey (AZ) and Greg Abbott (TX) requested additional state law enforcement support. Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has since remained silent. “Governor Kelly’s silence and lack of interstate cooperation make her complicit in the Biden administration’s failures at the border,” said Shannon Golden, KSGOP Executive Director. “More and more, Kansans are dying from fentanyl-related overdoses as drug cartels traffic tens of millions of lethal doses into the country. Governors have a responsibility to keep their states safe, and while Kelly is busy

Where is Sharice Davids’ outrage on Biden’s border crisis?

TOPEKA, KS – Despite border conditions being a central issue of the campaign that got Sharice Davids elected to Congress, she remains silent about the existing crisis at our Southern Border caused by Joe Biden’s immigration policies. There is a crisis at the border. According to CBS News: As of Sunday morning, U.S. Border Patrol was holding more than 4,200 unaccompanied migrant children in short-term holding facilities, including jail-like stations unfit to house minors, according to government records reviewed by CBS News. Nearly 3,000 of the unaccompanied children in Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody had been held longer than 72 hours. CBP is

Legislative Turnaround Update

As the Legislature reaches the Turnaround deadline, essentially the halfway point of the session, Kansans have had the opportunity to see firsthand which political party is all talk, and which one rolls up its sleeves and jumps into action. It’s been said, “You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.” And, this past year, that quote has never rung more true. Governor Kelly continues to make headlines for the failures of her unemployment system, her failure to protect our economy, and her failure to step up with solutions to the pressing issues impacting our state. Meanwhile, House

Why Kansas needs the new Emergency Management bill

“I think everyone understands where we were back in March and where we are now. We certainly see the need for a quick response but also want to move toward a system of increased oversight, and review. The public deserves to have checks and balances.” This is a quote from New York Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins – a Democrat – as the New York Legislature prepares to pass a similar emergency management bill to the one being moved in our Kansas Legislature. Under the new Kansas bill, a governor could declare a 15-day public health disaster emergency, which would

Is Laura Kelly serious about #MeToo or not?

TOPEKA, KS – If Laura Kelly is serious about her commitment to the #MeToo movement, she must call on Andrew Cuomo to resign from his position as Chair of the National Governors Association. Kelly campaigned in 2018, promising to #PressforProgress and “come together and be gender inclusive in all parts of our communities and government.” She hasn’t followed through on that promise. During the 2020 campaign, she merely issued a tepid statement through a spokesperson on Aaron Coleman, the controversial Wyandotte County Democrat with a history of abusive behavior towards women. She’s made no further comment on whether he should be serving in the Kansas

Why the “Equality Act” is nothing of the sort

Democrats are considering legislation today on the House floor called the Equality Act. Despite its name, the bill does the exact opposite of promoting equality. In fact, it would defeat the purpose of Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which exists to guarantee women equal educational and athletic opportunities. Like Joe Biden’s executive order that threatens to withhold federal funding for schools unless they force women to compete with biological males, this legislation would permanently devastate girls’ and women’s sports. Cases already exist in which transgender individuals have sued Catholic hospitals for declining to perform hysterectomies on otherwise healthy

Kelly’s economy puts Kansas in bottom five states for personal income growth

TOPEKA, KS – Under the leadership of Governor Laura Kelly, the Kansas economy ranked in the bottom five states for personal income growth in 2020. According to an analysis of economic data conducted by Pew Charitable Trusts, Kansas ranked ahead of only Wyoming and North Dakota in personal income growth in 2020. The growth rate across all 50 states was 5.9%, more than double Kansas’ 2.7%. One reason for the lag could be the abysmal performance of Kelly and her Department of Labor throughout the pandemic. Yesterday, the non-partisan Legislative Post-Audit Committee produced a report estimating $600 million in taxpayer losses through payments of fraudulent unemployment claims in

Democrats side with campaign benefactors over Kansas students

TOPEKA, KS – Democrats from Joe Biden to Laura Kelly to Sharice Davids continue to pick teachers’ unions over students when it comes to the issue of re-opening schools. The Biden campaign repeatedly claimed throughout the 2020 election they would “follow the science” in responding to this pandemic. Well, the science is clear according to the administration’s own Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Dr. Fauci – we can safely re-open schools without having to wait for every single teacher in America to be vaccinated. All the Biden Administration can seem to say on this important topic is “teachers should be a priority” for the vaccine. No one

Does Davids support Biden’s move to kill 11,000 American jobs?

TOPEKA, KS – Immediately following empty calls for unity and healing in his inaugural address yesterday, President Joe Biden signed an executive order to cancel the Keystone XL Pipeline and send 11,000 American workers to the unemployment lines. Biden proceeded to eliminate thousands of jobs, despite entering office when 900,000 Americans are filing new unemployment claims per week, and despite the fact that the Obama Administration found that doing so will actually increase carbon emissions by 42 percent. Without the pipeline, transportation of oil will not stop, it will merely be done by rail and road, which are notably worse for the environment. To recap,

Questions for Laura Kelly following her State of the State Address

TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party today issued the following questions for Governor Laura Kelly after she delivered her State of the State Address yesterday evening: According to the Kansas Hospital Association, a half dozen hospitals in Kansas still haven’t received their vaccine allotment. What is going on at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment? Why haven’t these hospitals received their allotments when the state received the vaccine nearly a month ago? In her address last night, Governor Kelly said Kansas is in the “top tier” for vaccines administered. Kansas currently ranks 32nd among US states and territories in vaccine administration. How is

Davids casts decisive vote for Speaker Pelosi

TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party today issued the following statement on Sharice Davids being one of the decisive votes to carry Nancy Pelosi to another term as Speaker of the House: Kansas GOP Chairman Mike Kuckelman commented: “Sharice Davids proved again today that she is no moderate, nor has she ever been, despite the cover she receives in the media. Based on her voting record, she is indistinguishable from Nancy Pelosi and rather than show actual independence or reflect the will of her district, today she cast a decisive vote to keep Pelosi in power. One of the top priorities for

Kansas population remains stagnant under Kelly as neighbors grow

TOPEKA, KS – Kansas has seen virtually no population growth for the second consecutive year under Governor Laura Kelly, the U.S. Census Bureau announced in a report released yesterday. Neighboring states led by Republican governors in Oklahoma and Texas saw strong population growth. Even Democrat-led Colorado saw its population increase as Kansas remained stagnant. The Census report provides another data point in the failed record of the Kelly administration. Kansas has the worst unemployment numbers across the Midwest, driven in part by the worst economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in America. Kansas also currently has 27 of the top 100 worst counties in America in

KSGOP Statement on Toland appointment to Lt. Governor

TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party today issued the following statement on the appointment of David Toland to fill the Lieutenant Governor vacancy: Kansas GOP Chairman Mike Kuckelman said: “The appointment of Lynn Rogers to replace a duly-elected Republican in the State Treasurer’s office and now the subsequent move to replace him with a liberal partisan such as David Toland shows Laura Kelly has no interest in working with Republicans to achieve meaningful solutions in Topeka. She’s simply interested in placating her far-left base. “Kansans are tired of Governor Kelly’s liberal extremism and disastrous handling of this pandemic and our state’s economy.

Kelly’s ‘strong push’ on Space Command ends in total failure

TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party today issued the following statement on the U.S. Air Force announcement that no Kansas location is among the six finalists for U.S. Space Command headquarters: Kansas GOP Chairman Mike Kuckelman said: “Governor Kelly promised a ‘strong push’ and announced she was going ‘to use all resources necessary to support the selection of Kansas’ as Space Command headquarters. With today’s announcement of six finalists and none in Kansas, we know her effort was a total failure. “We need a governor who can deliver on promises, and Laura Kelly is not up to the task.

Marsha Blackburn: Protect religious freedom, reject Barbara Bollier

By MARSHA BLACKBURN To read this article online, click here. Liberals are dead set on tearing down Judge Amy Coney Barrett by any means necessary. Tennesseans, like Americans across the country, are guided by their faith. It is central to who we are and plays an integral role in our communities. But that religious freedom, which makes us uniquely American, is in danger if we send radical candidates such as Barbara Bollier to the United States Senate. Barbara Bollier believes that if you’re a person of faith, you’re disqualified from the Supreme Court and serving in public life. She would violate our Constitution

Kansas City Star endorses “rising Republican star” Rashard Young for House District 16

BY THE KANSAS CITY STAR EDITORIAL BOARD To read this article online, click here. Rashard Young’s childhood at times lacked electricity and even running water, and often featured a growling stomach that drowned out the lessons at school. He has seen three of his sisters pass away. He has contended with stark deprivation and considerable adversity. You wouldn’t know it. Today, the 26-year-old holds a bachelor’s in criminal justice and legal studies, as well as a position as director of outreach at the Kansas Treasurer’s Office. He’s also a mentor to troubled youths who, truth be told, aren’t that much younger than him.

Donald Trump Jr: Anti-gun Bollier must be kept out of the Senate

BY DONALD TRUMP JR. SPECIAL TO THE EAGLE To view this article online, click here. Kansans — the future of your Constitutional rights, including the Second Amendment, is on the ballot next month. Barbara Bollier is the most extreme anti-gun Democrat Senate candidate in the country. That’s not an exaggeration. Last week, Bollier was caught on video supporting a total gun ban and confiscation program. Speaking about Australia’s gun confiscation program, she said, “they just took them all away, and you know what it’s pretty darn safe. It’s this amazing thing.” She also asked, “Who thinks you can just go out and

Does Barbara “I’m not afraid to call out my own party” Bollier stand with Cal Cunningham?

TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party today called on Barbara Bollier to denounce and return the money she raised at joint fundraisers with disgraced North Carolina U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham. On at least two occasions, April 24 and August 11, Bollier attended virtual fundraisers with Cunningham. Will Bollier join Cunningham’s mistress’ husband in calling on the candidate, who the military is investigating for court-martial, to drop out of the North Carolina race? Will she return the money she raised alongside him? Bollier has staked her entire campaign on being willing to call out her own party. Will she do it or

Ethics complaint filed against Scholtz for multiple campaign communications with no disclaimer

TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party on Sunday formally filed a complaint with the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission highlighting multiple campaign communications by House District 40 candidate Joana Scholtz. Along with its complaint, the Kansas GOP submitted two emails, a fundraising letter, and a campaign video all disseminated without appropriate candidate disclaimers. The complaint also points out Scholtz’s Facebook page fails to include a disclaimer. Under Kansas law, K.S.A 25-2407, candidates for political office at the state level are prohibited from political advertising without the inclusion of a statement “paid for” or “sponsored by” followed by the name of

Marshall: We must honor our commitment, move swiftly on Supreme Court vacancy

BY ROGER MARSHALL, SPECIAL TO THE EAGLE To read this article online, click here. The American people faced a clear choice in both 2016 and 2018. Democrats promised to nominate and confirm Supreme Court justices who would defend more regulations, strip away our Second Amendment rights, defend abortion, and continue writing laws from the bench. Republicans, on the other hand, promised to nominate justices who would not legislate from the bench, protect the unborn, and uphold our Constitutional rights. In both elections, the American people spoke clearly by sending a Republican to the White House and expanding the Republican U.S. Senate

Kelly promotes partisan voter registration website from official government Twitter account

TOPEKA, KS – Governor Laura Kelly yesterday took to Twitter to promote a voter registration website with known ties to liberal organizations and significant privacy concerns from her official government account. As revealed by the Kansas Reflector, www.ksvotes.org is a voter registration website backed by Democrats that requires users to give up personal information in exchange for registering on its platform. “Language in the site’s privacy policy gives permission to Blueprint Kansas, the organization that operates ksvotes.org, to collect contact information, website usage, details about your phone or laptop, and all the elements of a voter registration form — and use this personal

Where is Sharice Davids on impeachment 2.0 and court packing?

TOPEKA, KS – As President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans move to exercise their constitutional authority to nominate and confirm a Supreme Court justice, Sharice Davids has some questions to answer about how Democrats plan to respond. Remember, Davids votes with Speaker Nancy Pelosi an astonishing 99% of the time. We know she will be a rubber stamp on whatever Pelosi brings to the House floor. In response to the Republicans’ plan to follow historical precedent and fill a Supreme Court vacancy in an election year where the same party controls the White House and Senate, Democrats are threatening unprecedented retaliation.

Setting the record straight on the Supreme Court

TOPEKA, KS – Over the weekend, Democrats and their defenders in the media have kicked the misinformation campaign into high gear regarding the history of the Supreme Court and the position advanced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2016. Here are the facts. 1. History is on the side of Republicans when it comes to filling Supreme Court vacancies. 2. There have been 10 instances where a vacancy has occurred in an election year where the party opposing the President controls the U.S. Senate – most recently in 2016. Of those 10 instances, the President’s nominee was only confirmed three times. 3. There have been 19

Bollier’s gaffe goes unreported in debate coverage

TOPEKA, KS – Barbara Bollier awkwardly repeated the words “excuse me” over and over, refusing to acknowledge her support for late-term abortion when pressed by Roger Marshall in today’s debate in the race for U.S. Senate. You can watch the exchange here – it’s astonishing. A moment of direct confrontation between the two candidates would normally be considered noteworthy. Particularly when it involves the controversial stance held by Bollier, a topic of millions of dollars in television advertising in this year’s campaign, and an issue at the forefront of voters minds with a new vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court following the

TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party issued the following statement on today’s Kansas Senate debate hosted by the Kansas Agriculture Network and WIBW: Kansas GOP Chairman Mike Kuckelman commented: “The contrast in this debate couldn’t be more clear. Barbara Bollier spent the entire debate reading her answers from talking points provided by Washington Democrats. Roger Marshall spoke with authority on the issues and a commitment to defending Kansas values in the U.S. Senate. “This debate was a good preview of Election Day – a clear and decisive victory for Roger Marshall.”

Davids manipulates Adkins video – where’s the outrage?

TOPEKA, KS – The Sharice Davids for Congress campaign has released a new television ad featuring manipulated video of Amanda Adkins, a practice members of the media have been decrying as out of bounds for the better part of the last week. The Davids ad features video of Amanda Adkins out of context suggesting that “our children deserve better” than “her and Brownback.” The footage used by the Davids campaign comes from an Adkins campaign ad in the primary discussing border security, COVID-19 response, Democrats, and the media. It bears no resemblance to the context in which the Davids campaign used the footage. Where is the

Why is Sharice Davids prioritizing marijuana legislation over COVID-19 relief?

TOPEKA, KS – Sharice Davids and House Democrats are prioritizing marijuana legalization over helping small businesses and American families deal with the ongoing pandemic. Rather than spending her time pushing House Democrat Leadership to come to the table on a deal for a new round of COVID-19 relief, Sharice Davids is cosponsoring partisan legislation to legalize marijuana. On Friday she joined 106 other Democrats as a cosponsor of H.R. 3884. This follows Davids’ vote for the Democrats’ dead-on-arrival HEROES Act that featured similar pot provisions. Why is Sharice Davids so focused on marijuana while families and business in the Third District are struggling under the worst

Who wrote it: Kansas City Star or Bollier Campaign?

Now that the general election is in full swing, the media is in hyperdrive defending Barbara Bollier’s campaign from legitimate critique and refusing to challenge her on even basic positions and votes. This morning, the Kansas City Star published an article that should more appropriately be titled “In Defense of Barbara Bollier.” Here are the most glaring problems with today’s article: 1. Somehow, it goes the entire “pandemic politics” section without mentioning that Roger Marshall was well out ahead of anyone in the political world warning Americans about the threat of COVID-19 in a January editorial. It also fails to mention Marshall left the campaign

KSGOP statement on State Finance Council meeting

TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party today issued the following statement on today’s vote to prevent Governor Laura Kelly from unilaterally imposing any new lockdowns that would destroy our economy: Kansas GOP Chairman Mike Kuckelman commented: “It’s no wonder Laura Kelly’s economic recovery continues to trail every other state in America. Just yesterday she had to ask the federal government for a bailout from the devastating effects of her first statewide lockdown. Today, she nearly jeopardized the state’s entire emergency response to preserve her ability to shut us down again. “Kansas Republicans continue to lead on solutions. More lockdowns are not the

Sen. Denning: Barbara Bollier is no moderate

BY JIM DENNING SPECIAL TO THE STAR To view this editorial online, click here. Kansas state Sen. Barbara Bollier’s entire campaign for U.S. Senate is built on a fiction that she hopes no one will challenge. As a member of the Johnson County delegation to the Kansas Legislature who has served alongside Bollier for almost a decade, I’d like to present the truth. I speak about working across the aisle from experience. My work on mental health issues and crisis stabilization centers with Democratic state Rep. Kathy Wolfe Moore earned both of us national recognition from the National Council of Behavioral

Adkins supports police, Davids thinks law enforcement system “rooted in violence”

TOPEKA, KS – While Amanda Adkins has signed the Police Pledge, promising to support police officers and oppose all efforts to defund the police, Sharice Davids remains silent on the issue. But Davids’ own past words illuminate why she won’t commit to opposing the defunding of police. Her extreme record makes clear which side she’s on. Davids thinks our law enforcement system is “rooted in violence.” She told the audience at a May 2018 candidate forum as such: “I think one of the problems that we have when we talk about police violence is that we often focus on individuals within a system

Kansas last in unemployment recovery under Kelly Administration

TOPEKA, KS – Kansas is experiencing the slowest unemployment recovery in the nation under the leadership of Laura Kelly, according to a new study. Kelly’s economic response to the virus has been nothing short of a disaster. More than 80,000 Kansans continue to file for unemployment benefits each week, and for more than a month Kelly has dragged her feet on applying for the extra $300 per week under President Trump’s executive order. While Kelly played politics, 45 other states applied for and received authorization for the benefits. Under Kelly’s leadership, Kansas also ranks in the bottom five states in coronavirus testing capacity. Being at or

KSGOP Statement on State Finance Council Meeting

TOPEKA, KS – The Kansas Republican Party today issued the following statement on today’s State Finance Council meeting: Kansas GOP Chairman Mike Kuckelman said: “The Kelly Administration has sat idly by for nearly a month while 45 other states applied for and received the additional $300 weekly federal unemployment benefits authorized by President Trump’s executive order. Weeks have gone by while Governor Kelly has forced Kansans facing immense hardship to struggle for no reason other than their governor playing politics. “Only four states have determined the need for using an additional $100 per week in CARES Act funding for unemployment benefits. Republicans on

Will Barbara Bollier ever condemn the left-wing violence in our American cities?

TOPEKA, KS – Roughly 60 days from Election Day and 90 days since violence, rioting, and looting has gripped American cities, Barbara Bollier remains silent. Like numerous Democrats vying for Senate seats across the country, Bollier has been implementing the Schumer “windowless basement” strategy. She’s spent her time raising money from donors in California and New York, rather than explaining her stances on the issues to Kansans. Meanwhile, Roger Marshall has been clear and unequivocal. The son of a police chief, he recently signed a pledge to “stand with America’s Police and pledge to oppose any bill, resolution, or movement to ‘Defund the Police.'” He’s condemned

Kelly Illegally Eliminated Welfare Work Requirements

Tell the legislature to hold Governor Kelly and her administration accountable for their unlawful elimination of work requirements for able-bodied Kansans without dependents on welfare. On May 17th, Governor Kelly’s administration issued EES Policy No. 19-05-04 dictating that Department for Children and Families caseworkers “give eligibility to ABAWDs who are not meeting the work requirement beyond the three-month time limit.” Sign the petition now!

Governor Kelly’s nomination of Judge Jeff Jack to the Court of Appeals was the first Court of Appeals nomination to fail in Kansas history. Governor Kelly used the same selection committee for Judge Jack as she would in order to fill a Kansas Supreme Court vacancy. Governor Kelly’s nominating committee did not properly vet their selected candidate. If Judge Jack had been nominated to the Kansas Supreme Court he would not have

Petition: Constitutional Amendment to Protect Life

Judicial Activism From The Kansas Supreme Court: April 2019, the Kansas Supreme Court found the Wyandotte Constitution written in 1861 protects the right to have an abortion. The Kansas Supreme Court continues to play politics with their court rulings. The court waited for over 2 years to make their ruling after the 2018 midterm election. Over 19 enacted pro-life bills are in jeopardy of being nullified by the Kansas Supreme Court. Reversing this Supreme Court decision can only be done with a constitutional amendment. Will you protect life by demanding the legislature put a constitutional amendment on the ballot? By
