Mary Pilcher-Cook's Endorsements
Dear Jeff,
I have had several people ask me which candidates I am supporting for the August 3rd primary election. In the interest of limited and responsible government, I am glad to give everyone my endorsements! Also, it isn't easy to keep track of voting records, especially when there are so many other things competing for our attention.
U.S. Senate
Todd Tiahrt -
www.toddtiahrt.comThe best choice of candidate for the U.S. Senate is difficult to make without a tremendous amount of information, and while both Jerry Moran and Todd Tiahrt would be good Senators for Kansas, Todd Tiahrt is the man of conviction who will both lead and fight for the conservative principles we embrace.
Third Congressional District
Patricia Lightner -
www.patricialightner.comThe only candidates in this race who have the necessary experience are Patricia Lightner and Kevin Yoder. I served with both Patricia and Kevin in the Kansas House, and while Kevin has moved somewhat to the right on fiscal issues, it was just a few years ago that he took the lead for the biggest tax increases in Kansas. Kevin also voted against the marriage amendment and against banning tax dollars for human cloning, which are two very serious issues. Without a doubt, I endorse Patricia who has taken a strong stand for Liberty and the founding principles of our country.
Kansas Governor
Sam Brownback / Jeff Colyer -
www.brownback.comI'm looking forward to serving under a governor who will work with the Kansas Legislature to get our state back on the right track and grow our economy!
Kansas Attorney General
Derek Schmidt -
www.derekschmidt.orgI have served with Senator Derek Schmidt and I believe he will work hard to protect the liberty of Kansas citizens and will defend our state when the federal government refuses to recognize state sovereignty and the U.S. Constitution's limitations on federal power.
Kansas Secretary of State
Kris Kobach -
www.kriskobach.orgKris and I have worked on several legislative initiatives together and he is brilliant on constitutional issues. He is highly respected by the Kansas Legislature and it would be a privilege for Kansas to have him as our Secretary of State.
Kansas Commissioner of Insurance
David Powell -
www.davidpowellforkansas.comWe need an insurance commissioner who will fight for Kansas citizens so they can choose their own health care without government coercion. Unfortunately, our current insurance commissioner has repeatedly spoken out favorably for a government-controlled health care system.
Kansas House District 17
Kelly Meigs -
www.kellymeigs.comKelly is running against Jill Quigley, who has repeatedly voted against fiscal responsibility in government. Jill may be a nice person, but we need legislators in Topeka who will fight for what's right and will work for the people. Kelly has an education background which will be helpful in the Kansas Legislature, and she also understands the importance of a limited government.
In the next two years, we will need legislators with strong backbones who will have the courage to stand up for the principles that make our nation and state wonderful places to live. Your involvement could shape our state for decades to come.
I encourage you to let this election cycle, and what is happening on the national level, be a motivation for you to get involved for candidates who will fight for our core principles of fiscal responsibility, limited government, the right to life, and the protection of families and children.
These are the principles and values I have stood for and will continue to fight for in the Kansas Senate.
It is an honor to serve you in Topeka.
Sincerely,
Mary Pilcher-Cook
