Last week, we had a post concerning the Republican National Committee (RNC) providing a health insurance benefits package to its employees covering elective pregnancy termination procedures, which is much broader than the now infamous Stupak Amendment.
Under the Stupak Amendment, passed under the House’s current health care reform bill, such elective procedures would be prohibited under [...]
On Tuesday, Forward Kansas broke the story that Jim Anderson was looking at a potential third party run for the KS-04 seat, and, yesterday, we had the chance to catch up with the Anderson campaign in KS-04. We asked Shanen Taylor, media coordinator for the Anderson campaign, whether Anderson was eyeballing a run as a [...]
Perennial U.S. Senate and Presidential candidate Alan Keyes will be in Wichita on November 18th November 21st to endorse Jim Anderson for the KS-04 Congressional seat. Keyes has made a full time living out of running for office. According to Wiki, “[h]e ran for President in 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2008, and was a Republican [...]
UPDATE: This morning we learned from the Wichita Eagle’s Kansas government blog, the WichiTopekington, that State Sen. Susan Wagle would be announcing a run for KS-04 this afternoon.

But, according to Politico, the Kansas Congressman that has really benefited from his close association [...]
Featured on the DailyKos today is a KS-04 Roundup of all the challengers for the Congressional seat, and the rather amazing fundraising feat performed by Kansas State Representative Raj Goyle in his bid for the KS-04 Congressional seat.
Important to note: Goyle outraised four-out-of-the-five Republican challengers–combined–for the KS-04 seat, amounting to nearly $3,500 per day in [...]
Late yesterday, news broke that former KS-04 Congressman (‘76-’94) and Clinton USDA Secretary Dan Glickman was not renewing his lucrative contract with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Glickman, whose contract expires in September 2010, said…

Yesterday, we reported on the October quarterly filings by challengers to the open Congressional seat in KS-04, currently held by Todd Tiahrt. We weren’t able to report on how two of the challengers, State Senator Jean Schodorf and Jim Anderson, had performed in the October quarterly, because they chose not to e-file, thereby adding 48-72 [...]
