Mary Pilcher Cook Wins State Senate Seat in Kanas

Mary Pilcher Cook is a terrific politician who is right as a good rain on the issues we cover here at SHS. I have just heard from Mary and learned that she won her seat to the Kansas Senate by a comfortable 10% margin. I am thrilled. She is the kind of young leader who stands on principle that this country needs. Our best wishes for great success in her new work serving the people of Kansas and my personal hope (this is me, not her speaking) that she eventually move on up the ladder to help dry the swamp that is Washington D.C. Congratulations Mary!
