This post is by Jace Mills, a high school student from Winfield. Jace compiled "The Trail Mix" back in April!
He may be young, but Jace knows he has a vested interest in the future of Kansas and our great country. Jace is one of the many friends we've made along the Kansas Trail and a Real Deal grassroots supporter!
His interest in politics and conservative principles brought him to support my dad in the Senate race. And being in the right place at the right time brought Jace to the Cowley County Republican Party Picnic where he stumped for Dad. Here's his story...
When I showed up and the Cowley County Republican Party Picnic, I never intended to speak.
After a brief conversation with another Tiahrt supporter, I was asked to speak on Todd's behalf and happily accepted.
I told the crowd about Congressman Tiahrt's A+ rating from the NRA, about his pro-life work, and his record of never raising taxes.
I asked those who opposed ObamaCare to raise their hands. When every hand shot up I said, "So does Todd. In fact, he spent 10 hours on the House Floor fighting against the bill while our opponent stood outside filming a campaign commercial."
I explained to the crowd that Kansas must send a Conservative to the Senate. We can't expect New York, Maine, or California to do so!
It was last minute and it might not have been my best speech, but I was happy to share the reasons that I support Todd Tiahrt for Senate. And I enjoyed the conversation and the warm reception from Cowley County Republicans.
