FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Sharice Davids for Congress KS-03

[RandySF]

I am proud to call myself a Kansan. But I have been disheartened by the way our district has been represented in Congress. We deserve a voice who represents our values and interests.

Since graduating from Johnson County Community College, I earned a law degree from Cornell and have focused my career on bringing equity and opportunity to underserved communities. After completing a year as a White House Fellow in Washington during the Obama-Trump transition, I know that now is the time to take action for our community and for our nation.

As the daughter of a single mother Army veteran, I know the importance of determination and service to country. As a woman and a Native American, I know how to stand up and fight for equity. As a lawyer, economic advisor, and advocate, I know how to build consensus and get things done.

Please join me as we take our vision of opportunity, equity, and action to the Third District.

Let’s get to work!

3. This us why we shouldn't be concerned about "generic" ballots

We aren't, as your very time consuming series has documented in districts all over the country, running generic candidates.

The next time they run the poll they should ask "would you rather vote for a super hard working inspirational Democtat or some run of the mill lack luster generic Republican?"

5. We have great life stories.

6. Cornell??! That liberal bastion??

...just kidding.

Looks like a good candidate. She'd be the first native American rep, I think.

Her fellow Democratic challenger, Brent Welder is one of the top challengers, I believe. He worked on the Sanders campaign and is endorsed by him.
