I'm a millennial small business owner running to represent my community in the era of #COVID19, bring innovative and entrepreneurial ideas to the table, and carry my servant heart with me to the Capitol. I hope you'll follow our campaign! #ksleg

Looks like Arizona State House will stay in Republican column. That means Republicans defended EVERY legislative majority we held and FLIPPED 3 more! Should end the cycle with 62/99 Republican chambers when all is finalized. Huge year for @RSLC — our entire team crushed it.

I'm so proud of Rick! Hardly any outside money or support. He got by on sheer work ethic, positivity, and prayer! So happy he'll be my colleague in the Capitol! Together, he, @RepDietrich, and I are going to do good things for Topeka! #ksleg

One precinct left, Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley trails Rick Kloos by about 800 votes. An upset of epic proportions brewing. #ksleg

In the past month, political ads for #Election2020 in Topeka and elsewhere have seen a huge uptick as #ElectionDay nears. I dived into what some of these ads - TV, social media, mailers - have been saying (1/) #ksleg cjonline.com/news/20201026/p…

Two trends emerge. #Kansas Dems are repeatedly trying to tie local GOP candidates to Brownback - most notably, that they oppose #Medicaid expansion. @RepDietrich and @OSheaforKansas have gotten most of the brunt, even tho both have publicly supported Medicaid expansion (2/)

Fact: "In every contested election, someone has to lose, but women can’t be winners if they don’t run in the first place." Which is why @TheAscendFund is working to increase the % of women running on both sides of the aisle. It's the only #PathtoParity. governing.com/now/Another-Ye…

Several local church leaders are engaged in an ongoing discussion of how Topeka Christians of different races — specifically white and Black — can better understand and relate to each other. cjonline.com/news/20201009/p…
