Chip in today to elect Dem govs >>
Democratic governors are leading in the fight against Donald Trump. With our two historic victories in Virginia and New Jersey, grassroots momentum is on our side! But next year, nearly 80% of the country is voting for a governor – and with Republicans already investing to beat Dem govs, early support has never been so critical. Will you donate to elect more Democratic governors who will defend our rights and freedoms and stand up to Trump?
Gov. Laura Kelly Secures Latest Major GOP Endorsement: Former Kansas Republican Gov. Mike Hayden
Hayden: “The affairs of Kansas are in good shape right now, and I credit the bipartisan approach of Governor Kelly”
Yesterday, former Kansas Republican Gov. Mike Hayden joined his fellow former GOP Gov. Bill Graves, along with a large coalition of Republicans across the state, in endorsing Gov. Laura Kelly over Derek Schmidt.
“In 50 years in Kansas politics I’ve seen the good times and the bad,” former GOP Gov. Hayden said in a new video. “The affairs of Kansas are in good shape right now, and I credit the bipartisan approach of Governor Kelly.”
In his endorsement, former Gov. Hayden credited Gov. Kelly for adopting a multibillion-dollar highway and transportation program. He also applauded her record-high investment in K-12 public schools, job creation, and eliminating the state’s sales tax on groceries.
Meanwhile, Derek Schmidt is dealing with additional backlash from Republicans, with sitting GOP state senator Dennis Pyle running as an Independent and launching attacks against Schmidt.
“Governing from the middle to bring both sides together is how I’ve always operated and it’s how we’ve been able to accomplish so much these past few years,” said Gov. Kelly. “I will always fight for what’s right for Kansas. Not for any one political party.”
