Nancy Boyda raised $147,782.99 this quarter, and spent $155,448.17. Jim Ryun managed to raise $157,086.37, and spent $196,453.65. That a political newcomer can go toe-to-toe with a 5 term congressman with copious ties to the DC money machine is remarkable on its own. But Ryun has raised half his money in big donations from PACs and the DC money machine. while Boyda has taken only 6% of her money from PACs. Kansans are voting for change with their wallets.
Of course, the $200,000 that Dick Cheney raised (after the reporting period ended) for Ryun gives him strength going into the last weeks of the campaign. Now is the time to help Nancy Boyda raise the funding she needs to keep herself even in the air war that's about to start, and to do what she has to to get her voters to the polls. This race is winnable in a way it may not be again for decades. Do this now.
Although I live in KS-03, I've learned a lot about KS-02 from reading your blog. Your advocacy got me to donate to Boyda (Dennis Moore doesn't need my money for this election cycle, I hope). It also got me to try to get others to do the same. Check this out:
