This is huge. We have a real shot at winning this race… but outside money is coming in fast. I’m working hard to lower costs, stand up for working families, and take on the interests that have made life harder for too many Kansans. Can you chip in $30 to keep this momentum going? https://secure.actblue.com/donate/2605-q2-ps?refcode=2605-fb-d2d-poll&amount=30
