DLCC is saying what we’ve known for a while: there is real momentum in Kansas to elect more Democrats! We’re ready for more elected leaders who take their responsibilities seriously and who listen to the people, and NOT play into degrading culture wars. Let’s #goblue, Kansas!
BREAKING: We just released our list of state legislative targets for the 2024 cycle, highlighting where the most competitive battlegrounds are going to be. Here are the state chambers where we’re going to spend the most time, energy, and resources to help Democrats win. 🧵

That's right! Call your Member of Congress and ask them to support my bill with @BernieSanders to make school meals universal!
There's a bill in Congress right now not getting enough attention. The Universal School Meals Act would provide free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack to all school children. This means the end of student meal debt, and fewer hungry kids. Congress must pass this bill.

#ksleg could spend time cutting grocery and back-to-school shopping taxes, advancing pay equity, creating jobs, legalizing medical cannabis, making our railroads safer, and more... but sure, let's keep trying to pass the same harmful bill expecting different results 🙄
NEW: @GovLauraKelly has vetoed a ban on transgender athletes in women's sports for the third year in a row #ksleg "Let’s be clear about what this bill is all about – politics," she writes in the veto message

🍎 Rep. Brad Boyd doesn't mince words: The K-12 Education Budget committee is dismantling public education one bad bill at a time. 🗣️ Keep telling your #ksleg-islators NO to vouchers and YES to public schools. IT IS WORKING!
