Presidential Race
Kansas is a red state that voted for Trump in 2016. Biden is unlikely to win here in 2020. However, more eligible voters in Kansas did not vote in that election than voted for Trump.
[table id=4 filter=”kansas” filter_full_cell_match=”true” /]And young people have a special role to play in winning this state for Biden. Trump’s majority in 2016 was only slightly larger than the total number of young people who did not vote in that election. A similar number young people have turned 18 since that election. If they all voted for Biden in 2020, this state would turn blue!
[table id=3 filter=”kansas” filter_full_cell_match=”true” /]If you live in Kansas, your vote is critical to our survival. Voting for a third party or not voting at all is the same is giving your vote to Trump in this state.

Senate Race
This election is not just about Donald Trump. So long as Mitch McConnell retains control of the Senate, a President Biden will be able to achieve very little in office. We need to end McConnell’s tyranny of the Senate on November 3rd.
This is a Republican-held Senate seat and Republicans have held this seat continuously since 1932. However, Democrat Barbara Bollier is challenging Republican Roger Marshall for this seat, and has a real chance of winning it. You can use your vote to say no to Marshall, no to Trump and no to Mitch McConnell.
A vote for Bollier is a vote to survive!
House Races
The best we can hope for in 2020 at the Presidential and Senate levels is to get rid of Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell so that we will at least survive the next four years. But in the medium term, we need to elect politicians who support the Green New Deal, Medicare for All, the Nuclear Ban Treaty and other real, sustainable solutions to the global threats facing us all.
Luckily, we already have over 100 such politicians in the House of Representatives. We need to make sure they get re-elected, and we need to elect more of them!
Unfortunately, there are as yet no progressive candidates running for the House of Representatives in this state.
