"A BUSY LAST FEW DAYS" @ Abbie Hodgson for Congress

Dear Michael, The opportunity to travel throughout the 2nd Congressional District and connect with voters is without a doubt, the best part of the campaign. This weekend, I traveled over 200 miles in Northeast Kansas, hitting events in Atchison, Brown, Jefferson, and Leavenworth Counties. Saturday was overcast, and there were a few raindrops, but there was a lot to see along the road. I saw corn harvest beginning, soybeans maturing, and cattle grazing. I saw old stone churches, old brick schools, and old wooden barns. But it wasn’t what I saw, so much as who I talked to and what I learned that made the day so special. I spoke with local residents in Atchison about issues of concern to the community. Top of the list was healthcare and education. In Brown County, I went to the Hiawatha Maple Leaf Festival, where I enjoyed meeting local residents like the cuties below and eating kettle corn. In Jefferson County, I attended the Ozawkie Heritage Festival where I learned about the Delaware Indian Reserve, the Border War, and the building of Perry Lake at an oral history event. And in Leavenworth County, I celebrated the accomplishments of the local Democratic Party at their annual picnic. Your donations fund our campaign's ability to go to these critical community events and have conversations with voters that build trust and lay the groundwork for victory next year. So with our end-of-quarter deadline just one week away, I'm asking for your help. Please pitch in $10 (or more, if you can!) before our fundraising numbers go public. We need to raise $12,000 more by September 30. DONATE NOW » Thank you, Abbie P.S. On the road I enjoyed listening to The Homecomers, a podcast by Kansan Sarah Smarsh. Conversations focus not on the familiar narratives about the decline of small towns and rural areas, but on preserving and strengthening local communities. Abbie Hodgson is a fifth-generation Kansan, a teacher, and a policy expert and advocate. She’s a problem solver who will be a strong voice for Kansas’ 2nd District on education, agriculture, and affordable healthcare. Will you pitch in to help elect her to Congress?
