Jim Slattery has four stops in Kansas today: Topeka, Overland Park, Kansas City, and Wichita. At each, his speech begins, "My name is Jim Slattery and I am running for the United States Senate."
Slattery's reason for candidacy:
- The future of our economy is unstable and uncertain.
- Our reliance on foreign oil has created a national security crisis -- and a budget crisis for Kansas families.
- And our nation is engaged in a tragic and costly war.
The bulk of Slattery's words focused his statement, "We can do better. We must do better." Unlike many politicians, only three simple promises were made:
- I will be an independent voice for Kansas in the U.S. Senate
- I will always put the people of Kansas ahead of any political party.
- And, I will use every ounce of God-given energy and strength to address the problems facing our country.
Slattery contests incumbent Pat Roberts, a career politician who chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee and is responsible for U.S. military involvement in Iraq.
