We get what we vote for. The voters have spoken; they have chosen a different vision for the county and the state. I am, of course, disappointed with the outcome, but the results are clear. I deeply appreciate your support, but we must accept the results. There is a "template" that we've come to expect with political concession messages. I am supposed to congratulate the opponent, thank my supporters, speak to our progress, and look to the future. As leaders, the candidate is expected to separate themselves from their emotions–at least for a moment–and help their community begin to heal. That's not my script today. I acknowledge TJ Rose's victory. But I'm angry about the way he conducted his campaign, about the opaqueness and dishonesty. The level of personalized attacks levied by his and most of the other state legislative Republican campaigns was a behavior that should be condemned, not congratulated. I remain strongly opposed to his vision for Kansas. The Republican supermajority is now stronger and more conservative than ever, and Governor Kelly has only two years remaining in her term. These will be fragile times, and we must press our elected officials harder than ever to represent us. For our part, we're proud of what we accomplished and remain committed to carrying our values with us in our daily lives. I encourage you to do the same, because we get what we vote for. And the only way to get different outcomes is to bring our neighbors with us.

Today is #ElectionDay! While over 60% of the district already voted in the advance and mail vote, that means there's still 40% to go...so if you haven't voted yet, you know what to do. I'm very thankful for the whole experience (even the ridiculous attack ads). I appreciate you.

Last night, a video surfaced showing Kansas GOP leaders discussing a shocking plan to dissolve Johnson County school boards. This radical move would eliminate local control over our schools, impacting thousands of families in Shawnee Mission, Blue Valley, Olathe, and more. #ksleg #ksed

I’m proud to receive Governor Kelly’s endorsement. I’m committed to working together with anyone on delivering for Kansans, regardless of party.

Thank you for this coverage. The nationalization of politics seeping into downballot races is a real issue, and (IMHO) contributes to polarization in local races. #ksleg

Today the @FTC announced their anticipated "click to cancel" rule which requires companies to make it as easy to stop a subscription as it was to start one. e.g. if you subscribed online, you must be able to cancel online. 3 Democrats voted in favor, 2 Republicans voted against.

This week, the @JohnsonCntyPost is publishing candidate responses to questions on key issues. Yesterday's topic: taxes. You can find my response at: johnsoncountypost.com/2024/1… My opponent did not respond.

As you may know, canvassing takes a lot of walking…and a lot of shoes! Which is why I was so thrilled when a volunteer designer presented me with my own campaign shoes! I’m a sneakerhead wannabe, so these are the perfect way to close out the campaign cycle. You can find her at linktr.ee/maceleart

In @bvschools, student achievements extend beyond the classroom. I'm proud of BV's athletic programs and the benefits they offer students beyond physical health. Team sports nurture valuable life skills, inclusiveness and enhance mental well-being.

In 2024, Niche named @bvschools the best school district in Kansas and Top 1% nationwide. Niche ranked @olatheschools in the Top 5% of the country. Ninety-four percent of voters in Senate 35 live in these two school districts. Join me in helping protect our public schools.

I’m honored to receive @GovLauraKelly’s endorsement. Thank you for your support!
