Recently, I have had the privilege of learning to know James Thompson, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Congress. I appreciate his desire to truly represent the interests of the people of Kansas. He is being supported by the people of Kansas; his campaign has received donations from over 4,000 individuals.



James is a civil rights attorney who thoroughly understands the constitution. He is an Army veteran and a husband and father. James grew up in poverty and was homeless as a teenager. This wide range of life experience gives him a valuable perspective regarding government policy.



James has participated in a number of forums to let voters know his stand on issues. His opponent, Ron Estes, has failed to appear at seven of these forums.



This special election is on April 11. Please join me in voting for James Thompson, a strong voice for Kansas.
