2022 Endorsements

 

Johnson County Democratic Women is pleased to announce our endorsements for the November 8th 2022 election.

We endorse Democrats running for state and local offices who meet our endorsement criteria. If a candidate in your district is not listed here, it doesn’t mean we don’t support them. We want to see as many Democrats elected to the Kansas Legislature as possible to break the Republican super majority. Candidates who receive endorsements have joined our organization, attended our meetings, practiced their stump speeches on our members, and generally allowed us to get to know them well. If you stop by one of our meetings, you are likely to run into some of these amazing candidates.
