Kansas Legislative Victory Fund

The food sales tax in Kansas, when coupled with other sales taxes, is one of the HIGHEST grocery taxes in the nation. Democrats in the legislature have tried repeatedly to lower, and even eliminate, this tax.

Oh, the irony! Kansas Republicans are quick to give a break to any wealthy citizen, or large multinational corporation. Kansas Republicans even passed the largest sales tax INCREASE in 2015, in order to balance the torpedoing budget because of the Brownback tax experiment.

Why are they not willing to help the average Kansan?

Now is the time to take back the Kansas Legislature from the hands of far-right Republicans. Support Kansas Democrats working to break the supermajority.

Some districts, no doubt, would be able to hold in-person classes without incident. But many others, especially those in areas with increasing case numbers, would be hard-pressed to do so."

Support teachers, kids, neighbors, and all Kansans by doing your part, and wearing a mask.

Gov. Laura Kelly has stepped up yet again to do what’s right for Kansas.In deciding to delay the opening of state schools by three weeks, Kelly made

“There’s a queen bee, and the drones do exactly what they’re told.”

This week, conservative Kansas Republican drones, led by their “queen bee” Susan Wagle, were up to their old obstructionist tactics. Attempting to halt payments to thousands of teachers, state employees, and schools, Republicans on the State Finance Council delayed a vote to approve crucial funding desperately needed to keep Kansas operating.

It’s time to kick them out of the hive.

“If the problem, as the editorial board defines it, is that not enough of Kelly’s good judgment and reasoned approach prevailed in the compromise bill, then perhaps it can agree on the only real solution going forward. We must elect more legislators in November who will support the governor — and fewer of those whose main priority is to undermine her for partisan political gains rather than to do what is best for Kansans.”

It’s time to get real. In a recent editorial, The Kansas City Star Editorial Board expressed an unrealistic expectation in its denouncement of Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly’s support of the bipartisan bill regarding her emergency powers passed during the Legislature’s recent special session. To be f...

Today, Republicans are trying to jam bad legislation down the Legislature's throats without thorough vetting, no discussion, and zero transparency.

Come May 3rd, the Stay-at-Home order will end, and we will enter Phase One of Governor Kelly's Reopening plan. This is one of four phases, each lasting a minimum of 14 days. Each phase may be extended depending on what the expanded testing and data shows us. The phase-in approach is a necessary method in reopening the economy safely. To view the whole plan, click below.

"Kelly blasted Republicans, including Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt, for engaging in a “shamefully political attack” that undermines her administration’s efforts to control the spread of COVID-19. The dispute erupted as health officials revealed the largest single-day spike in coronavirus deaths and infections in Kansas."
