Tim Huelskamp: Longtime Friend to the KRA

Our Gala Banquet guest of honor this Kansas Days weekend is no stranger to the Kansas Republican Assembly. He’s been a familiar face, a supporter practically since the beginning, first as a state senator, now as congressman. In 2002, he was selected for the KRA Ronald Reagan Outstanding Leadership Award.

Congressman Tim Huelskamp is about as conservative as they come. First elected in 1996 to represent folks from southwestern Kansas to Topeka, he swiftly became known as an unshakeable force on both the life and tax issues, compromising not an inch.

In the 14 years he served his senate district, Huelskamp served on various committees, including Ways & Means, Agriculture, Education, and Elections & Local Government, the last of which included being on the subcommittee in charge of redistricting in 2002. His expertise from past experience as a farmer, teacher, and statistical analyst contributed to his many decisions made in those committees.

In 2008, Tim prepared to run for Congress when Rep. Jerry Moran was rumored to be considering leaving his seat. This didn’t pan out, but laid the grassroots and fundraising groundwork for his successful 2010 bid for the same seat. On January 3, 2011, Tim took the oath of office, along with 83 other freshman Republicans elected in the November elections.

I first came to know Tim in 2000 when I interned for State Rep. Peggy (Long) Mast. She made a point to introduce us early in the session, telling me I had to know this young senator. Before I knew it, I was splitting my time between Peggy’s office and Tim’s. Two years later, I asked to intern for him again.

In the two sessions I worked for Tim, I came to regard him as one of the most stalwart persons I knew—and know. He’s challenged me to be a better conservative, a better Christian, and now a better wife and mother.

I’m so glad to call him friend. I hope you’ll join us for the 2011 Gala Banquet where you can have a chance to hear and meet this most honorable man.

Our guest speaker this year is newly elected Congressman Tim Huelskamp from the Big First District.

Tim was raised in Kansas and following high school attended a seminary in Santa Fe, New Mexico and pursued his bachelor’s degree in social science education at the College of Santa Fe. After his undergraduate education, Tim accepted a scholarship to pursue doctoral studies at The American University in Washington, D.C. Studying political science with a specialization in agriculture policy, he completed his Ph.D. there in four years. During his time at American University, Tim met his wife Angela and together they were active in assisting women in crisis pregnancies. Additionally, Tim was busy as a college instructor teaching public policy and working as a statistical analyst.

Upon graduation, Tim and Angela turned down various job offers and decided to return home to farm, ranch and raise a family in Fowler, and since then have adopted four children: Natasha, Rebecca, Athan and Alexander. Both girls are from Haiti, while the two boys were already Americans. Together they’ve managed the farm that his grandparents started in 1925. Serving since 1997, Tim was one of the state legislature’s most conservative members, even opposing his GOP leaders in the state Senate on spending issues. He will now continue his conservative voting record in Washington, D.C.

Join us in welcoming home one of KRA’s own as we celebrate the victories of 2010 and look forward to the challenges ahead!

With stagnant poll numbers, Wasinger should bow out, endorse Huelskamp

KWCH Channel 12 in Wichita today released a new poll of the First Congressional District showing a three-way tie for the lead between state Sens. Tim Huelskamp and Jim Barnett and businessman Tracey Mann.

Candidate Rob Wasinger of Cottonwood Falls polled at only 12%, which is still within the margin of error of his showing in previous polls. Today’s results show what previous polls have illustrated for some time now, that if Rob Wasinger continues to be a candidate in this race, he may single-handedly split the conservative vote and give a win to liberal Jim Barnett or Tracey Mann.

In any other election year, Rob would more than likely be a perfectly acceptable candidate. But in today’s political environment of candidates saying one thing and then once elected doing another, it’s vital that voters in the First District elect a candidate with a proven track record of conservative values. Tim Huelskamp has a 16 year record as a state Senator where he has consistently fought for conservative principles, whether they be popular or not.

In light of Sen. Huelskamp’s outstanding record and superior position in the polls, conservative voters should rally around his candidacy immediately.

With only a week until election day, it has become clear that Rob cannot win this election; all he can do is hand the seat to a liberal Republican for years to come.

Rob Wasinger is a good man and candidate, but in this particular race the choice just couldn’t be more clear. Trusting that Rob values the conservative movement more than his personal political career, it would be prudent for him to end his campaign and immediately support Tim Huelskamp.

Huelskamp first on the air

Sen. Tim Huelskamp announced the first TV ad in the first congressional district race with a positive message about his record on taxes. The ad, titled “Tax Day,” runs 30 seconds in length and is an issue-oriented profile of Senator Huelskamp and his record of fighting for lower taxes.

“Other candidates talk about opposing taxes, but Tim Huelskamp has a proven track record of fighting tax increases to prove it,” said Huelskamp spokesman David Ray. “That’s why he won numerous awards for keeping taxes low and why the Club for growth has endorsed him.”

In additional to high profile national endorsements, Sen. Huelskamp was one of only two candidates to gain a preference vote of the Kansas Republican Assembly Board of Directors. To gain a KRA Board Preference, candidates had to get a 4/5ths vote from board members. In addition to being a friend of the taxpayer, Sen. Huelskamp has been a friend of the pro-life and pro-marriage movement in Kansas and has proven to voters he is worthy of their vote.

The KRA encourages you to donate $25 to the Huelskamp campaign today to help keep this message on the air.

Kelsey wins fourth district poll

Results of the KRA fourth district poll

Results of the KRA fourth district poll

Looks like a lot of fourth district campaigns “got out the voters” so to speak in the just closed KRA poll.

Dick Kelsey won 41% of the total votes with a record 5,110 votes. Jim Anderson was second with 34% of the vote and Mike Pompeo was third with 24%.

Results as of last Friday can be found here. Clearly a few campaigns motivated some folks to sit by the computer and vote their heart out. It’s always nice to have dedicated volunteers!

Tim Huelskamp was the previous run away winner in the first district poll. While here, take the time to vote in our new poll on how to fund additional highway improvements in Kansas. (Yes, you can vote AGAINST tax increases if your heart desires. I somehow figured out how to include that in the poll.)

You can vote for one or two options in the new poll on your right.
