To: Kansas MoveOn Members and James Thompson, Democratic Candidate, KS 4th Congressional District
Please Endorse James Thompson, progressive Democratic candidate, in KS Special Election April 11
James Thompson is a civil rights attorney and an Army Veteran who was homeless as a teen. He has found success in life through his hard work and focus on progressive values. New to politics, Thompson is running in the Koch brothers's back yard in Wichita, KS against a Brownback acolyte, KS Treasurer Ron Estes. Kansas has a history of progressivism and is not monolithic; KS 4TH IS FLIPPABLE with the help and support of MoveOn. Thompson is a Berniecrat, and has a chance to win the Special Election April 11 with MoveOn's help.
Why is this important?
Please don't overlook the special election coming up on April 11th in the Kansas 4th Congressional District, the Koch brothers' home district. PLEASE ENDORSE JAMES THOMPSON!
I live in Kansas (but not in the 4th Congressional District). Notwithstanding that I can't vote for James Thompson, a progressive civil rights attorney and veteran, with an inspiring story of rising up out of homelessness to make a difference in the lives of many Kansans, I have badgered and cajoled my friends and family (including my KC-area friends) to support his candidacy and share his story. My network is responding, as are many others around the state and country.
Don't assume because Kansas is a deep-red state that we are monolithic. There is a strong, historic progressive movement in the state (evidenced by the support of Bernie Sanders), fueled by strong opposition to the regressive Brownback policies and Trump's dangerous incompetence. Please don't assume there is no chance to flip this seat in the upcoming special election; Dems, Independents and disillusioned Republicans can be motivated!
We need your attention and your help to coordinate our movement to resist the Brownback acolyte running against Democratic candidate James Thompson.
Please help us! Please shine your spotlight on the Kansas 4th Congressional District race.

Andrea Thomas Ramsey, Esq.
