Mark Holland: Increase access for every citizen to cast legitimate ballots

We need leaders who tell the truth about our elections. Our votes are counted at the grass-roots level by honest Kansans and Americans. There is no widespread fraud in the Kansas or American voting systems. Lies and conspiracy theories about elections undermine our democracy. We also need to stand up to gerrymandering, whether we are in a red or a blue state. We need to increase access for every citizen to cast a legitimate ballot.

Mark Holland: Disclose campaign donors; end gerrymandering

Citizens United allows untraceable dark money allows the few to control our politics and inflame a lose/lose culture war, thereby preventing Congress from crafting meaningful legislation. We must require organizations that spend money on elections to disclose their donor information. Reforming campaign finance is the main way to restore our democracy. I support federal action to end gerrymandering by creating an independent commission for redistricting.

Mark Holland: Our democracy hangs in the balance; must be protected

The Constitution provides the ability for Congress to enact new legislation which would block the Court from pursuing their new "independent state legislature" theory. The protection and expansion of federal voting rights is my top priority and I will work with any Senator who shares my belief that our democracy hangs in the balance and must be protected.
