Stephene Moore to Run for Congress

Stephene Moore, wife of United State Congressman Dennis Moore (R-KS), has officially announced today that she will be running for her husband's soon to be vacated seat in the Third District of Kansas.

At the Third District Congressional Debate held last month, I left the Blue Valley Northwest Performing Arts Center with a strong sense of conservative confidence. I knew, regardless of which candidate will snatch up the nomination, the seat will finally become red.
As much as I hesitate to put this in writing, I am not as confident as I once was. It pains me to think, after hearing the shocking yet appropriate news late last year, I am once again fearful of misrepresentation in Washington.

The question is, does Stephene Moore have a chance of defeating Nick Jordan, Kevin Yoder, Patricia Lightner, Daniel Gilyeat, John Rysavy or Craig McPherson?

It will be close, but I think it can be done. Stephene is going to have a few things on her side which will make the fight on this side of the aisle more difficult than first thought. It comes down to two important components:

Donors: There are plenty of moderates and democrats in the Third District with deep pockets. These are the people who have out-raised every candidate from Adam Taff to Nick Jordan. Stephene will have access to lists, contacts, lobbyists and the like who, believe it or not, like her husband and are pleased with his performance.

Name ID: Like I mentioned in the previous paragraph, a great deal of people in the Third are pleased with their Congressman. If they want more of the same, they'll just have to check "Moore".


Generous donors and a recognizable name cannot completely overcome that fact that Stephene, a nurse by trade, has absolutely zero legislative experience. Besides the fact that she has been married to a six-term Congressman for 20 years, Stephene strikes out in this area. Stephene has stated that she is pro-choice, pro-bailout and pro-healthcare bill. The wife of this so-called moderate is supporting left-leaning liberal ideals.

FINAL NOTE: With the primary nearing, republicans in the Third need to back 1-3 GOP candidates, and the remaining candidates should duck out, and endorse one of the remaining candidates running.We don't need another "blue-dog" democrat in this seat. We must do whatever we can to make sure we don't get any "Moore" of this liberal agenda in Kansas.
