TOPEKA, KS – Today, the Cindy Holscher for Governor campaign announced that 80 additional current and former Republicans from across Kansas have endorsed Senator Cindy Holscher and joined “Republicans for Cindy,” bringing the coalition to 100 members. They joined the 20 current and former Republican elected officials who launched the coalition, many of whom served alongside both Holscher and Masterson in the legislature.
Throughout her time in Topeka, Holscher has brought Republicans and Democrats together around practical and pragmatic solutions. That record began in her first term in the Kansas House, when she co-founded a bipartisan coalition that ended the Brownback tax experiment and restored stability to the state.
“I served in the Legislature alongside both Ty Masterson and Cindy Holscher, so I know their records better than most,” said former Republican State Representative Linda Gallagher. “Cindy is a pragmatic leader who has always been willing to work with anyone, Republican or Democrat, to get things done for Kansas families. That’s exactly the kind of governor our state needs right now, and as a lifelong Republican, I’m proud to support Cindy Holscher for governor.”
“I’m proud to have the support of so many Republicans who know that what matters to Kansans isn’t party labels but whether their governor will work for them. They know both my record and Ty Masterson’s, and they chose me. This campaign is for everybody, and as governor I’ll work for every Kansan,” said Senator Cindy Holscher.
