ENDORSEMENTS

I am very pleased that I have received the following newspaper endorsements:

Kansas City Star

Bond Faulwell entered the race late, after another Democratic nominee withdrew because of illness, but the adjunct college professor is up to the task. Faulwell, a former deputy regional administrator for the U.S. General Services Administration, has strong stands on the issues. He is a better choice to fill the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Dennis Wilson than Republican Jeff Colyer or Libertarian candidate Rob Hodgkinson.

 

Johnson County Sun

Bond Faulwell: Although he faces a tremendous uphill battle in this race, Faulwell is the kind of state senator we need. He opposes the coal-fired power plant proposal and understands the need to take care of deferred maintenance at our state’s universities.

Despite having entered the race so late I have received support from PAC’s or groups associated with the following:

               KansasNEA
               Kansas Families United for Public Education
               AFL-CIO Tri-County Labor Council
               Kansas AFL-CIO
               Mainstream Coalition
               Ironworkers
               Operating Engineers
               Kansans for Lifesaving Cures
               Greater Kansas City Women’s Political Caucus

Given my late entry into the race many of these groups had to hold a special session to review me.  I am most appreciative of consideration.  When I ran for the Kansas House in 2006 I received support from the above groups as well as Pacs associated with the following:
                                   
                        -Heavy Constructors Association    
                        -Laborers
                        -Hallmark
                        -Teamsters
                        -Carpenters

                       
                        -Kansas Contractors Association
                        -State Farm Ins. Agents and Employees
                        -Embarq
                        -Trial Lawyers
                        -Sierra Club
                        -Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce
                        -Kansas Beverage Association
                        -Roofers
                        -Kansas Gas Service Employee PAC

Several of these have indicated they could not go through a vetting process this late or have already allotted their funds.  Some of these are trying to handle support for me now.  The bottom line is my issue positions are consistent.                  -
