Huelskamp boasts donors from all 69 first district counties

Ahead of the January finance reports from all federal candidates, Sen. Tim Huelskamp announced that he had garnered contributions from all 69 counties in the big first district.

“Reaching this critical milestone shows that our campaign has the most broad-based support of any candidate in this race,” said Huelskamp. “I’m very thankful for all the support I have received from across the First District.”

A truly impressive feat. Sen. Huelskamp has been leading the pack in not only total contributions, but donations from within the first district as well.

Blackwell praises Huelskamp on townhall.com

Ken Blackwell has an article up on townhall.com highlighting Tim Huelskamp's effort to once again defund Planned Parenthood in Kansas.

The article entitled Champions of Life on the Rise also highlights Virginia's new Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli who also lead the fight for pro-life legislation in Virginia and yet won a statewide office. It just goes to show doing the right thing can pay dividends.

Blackwell had this to say about Huelskamp's efforts:

Last year, Huelskamp pushed to de-fund Planned Parenthood. His Amendment (referred to as “The Huelskamp Amendment”) actually passed the Legislature but was vetoed by Gov. Mark Parkinson, a Democrat.

But just as British Member of Parliament William Wilberforce vowed to introduce a bill banning the slave trade each year, Huelskamp seems determined to introduce his bill until it passes.

Aside from being conservative rising stars working at the state level, Huelskamp and Cuccinelli are both young Catholics. Both are also more than just “good votes” – they are Pro-Life legislative leaders in the mold of Sens. DeMint and Coburn and Rep. Pence.

Blackwell has endorsed Huelskamp in the first district race.

You can also see another interview Huelskamp did with State of the State KS.

With three days to go, Barnett still a no show on amended report

With three days left until an FEC imposed deadline, Jim Barnett is still snubbing his nose at the people of Kansas.

The FEC recently sent the Barnett campaign a letter questioning several items in their third quarter finance report. Previously Barnett was able to file an amended report within several weeks fixing mistakes that gave the appearance the campaign had much less cash on hand than in reality. The error and subsequent fix displayed the campaign's stellar ability to recognize a mistake and fix it quickly.

The Barnett campaign has had no such desire to quickly answer an FEC request to provide the occupations and employers of donors. This is the second report Barnett has filed where donor information has been missing, in direct violation of FEC guidelines.

When does Jim Barnett plan to take the citizens of Kansas seriously?
