I hate fundraising, but…

Posted on by Kevin Mark Smith

As the end of the year approaches and we prepare to ramp up the campaign, reality strikes.  It costs anywhere from $20,000 to $60,000 to mount a successful judicial campaign. Costs include yard signs, mailings, TV commercials, billboards, etc. All of those things are expensive, and all for a position that pays less than most candidates make in private practice. Hence, fundraising is invitable. If you support my position on the issues–namely, judges apply the law and don’t make it!–as well as my specific objective in division 24–to restore integrity to the division–then I’m asking for you financial support as well as your vote.

I am pro-life, pro-family, and pro-religious freedom, and a good part of my legal practice has been committed to providing legal support to organizations that stand for these positions.

Please consider supporting the campaign. Individuals can give $500 before the primary and $500 after. Give whatever you can. Send checks made out to “Kevin Mark Smith for Judge” and mail to my office at 1502 N Broadway, Wichita, KS 67214.

I thank you in advance for your support.

Blessings,

Kevin

Time to ramp up

I’m looking for a group of hard workers ready to help out with the campaign. It’ll mostly involve being available for phone calls, parades, and knocking on doors. If you’re willing and able to help out please send an email and I’ll call you. I appreciate whatever you can do to help.

Began sending out the endorsement letter last week…

Would you believe that there are more than 1500 lawyers in the Wichita Bar? Wow, that’s a lot of lawyers. So I decided to send my endorsement letter out a couple hundred at a time. Please don’t feel left out if you haven’t received one yet. With two hundred mailed! I just now broke into the B’s.

Jennifer Wagle, a terrific family law attorney, just endorsed the campaign. Her name isn’t on the mailed letters but will be on the next mailings. That’s a page and a half of endorsements from lawyers on every point of the ideological scale. Seems that all lawyers and litigants want a fair, impartial, respectful, and competent judge presiding over their cases.

We are accepting campaign donations now. Make checks out to “Kevin Mark Smith for Judge” and send to the attention of Richard Peckham, Treasurer, at 1502 N. Broadway, Wichita, KS 67214.
