to protect Democracy
Sam Lane
for Kansas Secretary of State
I'm a lifelong Kansan and lifelong independent, but I'm throwing my hat in with the Democrats to run for Secretary of State.
The Federal Government is in chaos right now, and I can't stand by and do nothing about it. Running for office is probably the most constructive thing I can do. We need honest people more than ever now.
But why Secretary of State? Because in Kansas, the Secretary of State oversees our elections. If you don't have a Secretary of State that plays fair and takes the job seriously, you don't have fair elections. And if you don't have fair elections, you don't have a democratic republic anymore. It's that simple.
I can't fix this whole country by myself. But with your vote, I'll at least be able to safeguard Kansas.
Elections are the sacrosanct of democracy.
Now they're under attack by fringe partisan politics.
I'm here to defend them.
I'm here to Hold the Line.
As I'm not already a politician, I don't have the insider information on the job that others do. I've already met with several county election commissioners/county clerks to better learn local issues and what resources I would have.
I intend to take it further. If elected, I intend to visit the election office of every county in Kansas, all 105 of them, to hear firsthand what resources they need from Topeka, and make sure they're following all the proper rules and procedures that make our elections fair and accurate. Workload permitting, I'd like to visit every county within my first year of office.
