Letter from Kansas Representative Charlotte O’Hara, an Overland Park Republican. Dear friends, How can Kansas with a Republican Governor and Republican control of both the House and Senate pass budgets that have a 6.7% increase in the State General Fund?

Kansas City Star columnist Steve Rose, a guy who consistently lies about and attacks conservatives (it doesn’t matter whether this issue is economic conservatism or pro-life law enforcement), recently dedicated a column to another conservative candidate (James Nelson) and me; we’re running for positions on the local community college board.

Tens of thousands of Kansas children are receiving poor educational services from the “public” schools across the state. And thousands of men and women would like to be teachers, but they won’t be hired because school districts are giving various no-bid contracts, are spending too much on administration, are spending too much on building costs, and won’t fire bad teachers. Tom Holland vows to keep | Read More »
I admit that with this headline, I’m trying to get Erick Erickson’s attention. Tom McClintock is the US Congressman from California’s 4th Congressional District. He is supported by Club for Growth and he is a respected, national leader in Congress. Karen Handel is endorsed by RedState.com and Congressman Tom Price. Handel is running for governor of Georgia. Conservative Arizona State Senator Pamela Gorman is endorsed by | Read More »
