If you want to win an election, you gotta campaign. And to campaign, you gotta get a lotta dough! This week Henry chats with R. Rebecca Donatelli, founder of Campaign Solutions, for a deep dive into the world of online political fundraising.
Plus, Henry rants ahead of a debate that (we’re told) won’t change anybody’s mind. And he breaks down a big introduction ad for a newcomer candidate who hopes to take Kansas 2.

Kansas 2 is my district, so it’s interesting that Henry Olsen chose this ad. There is a little grumbling about Jake LaTurner going to Washington and becoming a RINO. LaTurner was a Sam Brownback Republican and the youngest state treasurer in Kansas history. But as soon as he went to Washington, he joined the establishment and found justification to support everything the establishment wanted.
Early on LaTurner was active on Facebook, explaining every vote that he took and how his support for RINOs was really a conservative move. But he got a lot of crap on Facebook, so he has quit being active on Facebook. So Shawn Tiffany has a chance (not a huge one, but a chance) to unseat LaTurner.
