Donor & Contribution Information (Kansas Specific)
As a candidate committee under the laws of the state of Kansas, we are required to collect and report certain information about contributions and contributors. For example:

Candidates for state or local office must file reports with the appropriate authority (for local office typically the county election officer) that include the amount of each contribution, the name and address of each contributor, and other details.
We will use contributor information only in compliance with applicable laws and will not share it beyond required disclosures.
