Sen. Cindy Holscher Wins KCUR Debate With the Strongest Plan to Make Kansas More Affordable
Holscher Only Candidate to Fight for Everyday Kansans – Not Billionaires
OVERLAND PARK, KS — State Senator and Democratic frontrunner for governor Cindy Holscher was a stand out winner in today’s KCUR debate as the only Democrat on the stage willing to stand up to wealthy special interests to protect everyday Kansans and lower the cost of living.
Holscher touted her opposition to the billionaire stadium giveaway, her proposed moratorium for A.I. data centers, and her plans to make corporations and millionaires pay their fair share so that we can lower property taxes for everyone else.
“Today’s debate reinforced that Cindy Holscher is the only candidate for governor, Democrat or Republican, who is willing to fight against the establishment so we can lower the cost of living for working people,” said campaign manager, Madi Ashcraft. “Two men running against Cindy are creatures of the establishment offering more of the same status-quo politics that people are sick of. Kansans need someone tough enough to beat Ty Masterson in the fall; that’s not Ethan Corson or Curt Skoog.”
