"We can draw four Republican congressional maps” to oust elected Representative Sharice Davids through gerrymandering.
This is a red state and they're doing everything they can to remain in power. One bright spot is Dr Barbara Bollier who is running
for U.S. Senate against Roger Marshall, she even has several republiCON Ks legislators who are endorsing her.

So hopefully dems can at least kill their veto proof majority this year... I imagine some coattails with the dem senate candidate who is polling well, will help.
