TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- As the 2020 filing deadline passes today, Kansas Democratic Party members will have to choose between an impressive slate of candidates.

There is a Democratic candidate in 91 House Districts out of 125 and 30 Senate Districts out of 40. Democratic members sat in roughly 75% of their respective chamber’s seats.”

“The people of Kansas will have the opportunity to vote for Democratic candidates who are ready to work for hardworking Kansans on a bipartisan basis,” says Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley. “Our candidates understand the challenges facing their communities and our state. They are committed to doing what is best to move Kansas forward.”

House Democrats broke the fundraising record in 2019 and intent to flip enough seats to break the supermajorities in both Chambers. The goal for them is to flip one House seat and three Senate seats.

“We only need to flip one seat in the House to break that Republican supermajority,” says House Democratic Leader, Tom Sawyer. “Between the tenacity of our candidates and the extensive resources we continue to collect, I’m confident that we’ll flip not just that one seat, but several.”

3. Fingers crossed

but I am not going to hold my breath.

It would really be something to not be sitting in a state where even the Dem Governor cannot do much.

I am skeptical and I am really lately thinking that we are going to send all of you the gift of KKKobach to the Senate. Sorry in advance, it is close but he keeps peeking out ahead lately.

4. Farm states...

Republican going back more than a century. Then the dust bowl, the banks, the depression. Who helped them? The Democratic Party.

The actual text of his speech is out there, but Harry Truman once said of the American farmer, that after what FDR and the Democrats did for them and their families and neighbors, they should rue the day they ever turned ungrateful and voted Republican.

And he was from Missouri.

And I feel the same way. It was a great speech. You should be able to find it at the Truman Library website.
