Patrick for Kansas
Welcome to my newsletter! I'll be using this space to bring you campaign news, upcoming events, and house renovation updates.
PATRICK SCHMIDT JUN 12
On May 24, I officially filed for candidate in Kansas-19 Senate District. I filed by petition with well over the 335 signature requirement! It was a proud day for me and my wife, Megan. The last 6 months have been an awesome journey and the next couple months leading up to the primary are going to be filled with hard work and exciting events. Thank you all for your support!
Our first piece of mail has officially gone out! We look forward to sending out more in the coming weeks, so be sure to look out for those.
This space will be used to bring you local news, campaign updates, and upcoming events to support us!
News
Following Governor Kelly’s veto of HB 2749 and the override votes, Kansas abortion providers challenge the abortion survey law. Forcing women to provide reasons and justification for getting an abortion is violating. Women should have freedom and access to their healthcare. The legislature needs young, progressive Democrats to help win this fight; I want to fight for and represent women’s issues and protect their access to healthcare.
Events
May 18: I got to spend some time with the Midwest Elks Lodge 1441 in Topeka a few weekends ago, supporting a scholarship fundraiser and eating some catfish! It was a beautiful day and a great event. Thanks to the Elks for having me and for raising money for such an important cause.
On Memorial day, I had the opportunity to join the ceremony at Mt. Hope Cemetery to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. As we commemorated another Memorial Day, we remembered all those who sacrificed their lives so that we may be free today.
This past weekend, I got to join the Lawrence Pride Parade! There was a great turnout and it was lots of fun. Thanks to everyone that showed up to celebrate the diversity & acceptance of those in our community!
Houses Renovation Updates
The tree in front of our house fell down and this weekend I planted a new one! Can’t wait to watch it grow over the next years in our new house.
