Lisa Johnston, Democratic U.S. Senate Nominee, Endorsed by Mainstream Coalition

Overland Park, Kansas — August 18, 2010 — Dr. Lisa Johnston has earned the endorsement of the Mainstream Coalition, a highly respected nonpartisan political organization.

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Mainstream Coalition” said Lisa Johnston. “I believe that Kansans want leaders who are reasonable, moderate, and dedicated to representing the interests of everyday people including personal and religious freedom, human rights, and strengthening public education. My opponent demonstrated in his primary election that he is not a moderate but an extreme conservative which is not what the majority of Kansans want in their leaders.”

On August 3rd, Lisa defeated four other Democratic primary candidates to become the Democratic nominee for United States Senate. Voters throughout the state responded positively to her four key campaign priorities: job creation in Kansas, promoting economic strength and fiscal accountability, prioritizing education, and leading with integrity. Learn more about Lisa by visiting her website.

Lisa hopes to bring a fresh perspective to the U.S. Senate. “The overwhelming majority of U.S. Senators have professional backgrounds in law, business or politics. For example, my opponent in this race has a background in law and has been as a U.S. Congressman for fourteen years. He is a true Washington insider which is not what people are looking for right now.” said Lisa “We need more diversity in our political leadership and people from all walks of life with professional experience that will strengthen the legislative process. Education is under-represented in Washington. We need more U.S. Senators who understand education from the inside. I feel my leadership experience, professional expertise in education, desire to represent the people, and commitment to serve with integrity will allow me to succeed as a U.S. Senator and fight for what is best for Kansans and all Americans.”

The toothless get ruthless

So the Pompeo campaign got caught slinging mud...and why is anybody surprised? It is what he and his party do. I'm not running for office so I'll say it like it is, it's typical. They got nothing.

Thanks For Your Support

Charles Schollenberger and his campaign staff wish to thank many Kansans around the state for their efforts in our behalf. While not ultimately successful in the recent U.S. Senate primary, we are proud that we were the only campaign that took a serious position on many of the major issues facing the country while at the same time proposing solutions.

We started out campaigning for both the health insurance and the financial reform bills until they both passed. We ran a campaign on many other issues, as well,  but we are particularly pleased  at what small part our efforts might have had in the passage of these two landmark pieces of legislation.

We can also be proud that in our 15-month campaign, we came out of nowhere to win the endorsements of four daily newspapers around the state, including a major metropolitan newspaper.

First and foremost, however, we’re proud of the fine young people who volunteered their time and talents to our efforts in their first debut into elective politics.
