Kansas has made a habit in recent years of doing the right thing, the election of Laura Kelly in the face of the extremist Kris Kobach signal that Kansas wanted good leadership. And in this case, they wanted the right to freedom for women in that state. They refuse to allow women to be relegated to second-class citizenship.

We have to remember that voter suppression isn't about stopping every voter. It's about blocking and impeding those voters who are considered inconvenient.
We need a governor who believes in both public safety and justice. It’s going to invest in our public safety officers, but also invest in our communities.
My intention is going to be to pass legislation that says a woman has the right to an abortion, and that right continues until a physician determines the fetus is viable outside of the body, except in the case of protecting the woman's life or health.
What is happening is that people are looking at one metric and trying to extrapolate an entire narrative. And the narrative is very clear, voter suppression is not about stopping voting. It is about impeding certain voters from participating.
