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

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
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
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.
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
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.”
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
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
