Johnson County Democratic Party Dreams Of Pushing Back Republican Super Majority

Remember . . .

The 2024 provided a stunning defeat after so many local journalists predicted "purple" Kansas. 

And now . . .

Rather than working on election strategy . . . It seems that progressive leaders are content to just repeat the same talking points until the next big vote . . . Here's the word:

Johnson County Democratic Party executive director Cole Robinson said that from a Democrat’s perspective it was essential to focus during the next three election cycles on ending the GOP’s two-thirds majorities in the Legislature and to place another Democrat in the governor’s office in 2030. Both steps would be pivotal to limiting the power of Republican lawmakers to once again gerrymander legislative districts for their benefit when boundaries were redrawn in 2032, he said.

“If you’re in favor of more moderate politics in Kansas, the most important race of our intermediate lifetimes is the 2030 gubernatorial,” Robinson said. “If Democrats should break out of the superminority at some point, then that 2030 governor’s race will allow for fair maps in 2032.”
