“No Kansas Supreme Court justice has lost a retention election since the judicial system took its current form in 1958. However, there is an unprecedented level of hostility emanating from the Legislature, governor and many organizations that decry the court’s recent rulings on anti-abortion laws, death penalty verdicts and school finance. This is why delegates at the state Republican convention declared their intention to campaign against the retention of four justices this year: Carol Beier, Dan Biles, Marla Luckert and Lawton Nuss.

“After exhausting every other method to undercut the Supreme Court, its most powerful opponents will likely pour money into anti-retention efforts before the election in November. Kansans shouldn’t allow these efforts to sway them. Let’s vote to retain our justices and resist the movement to politicize the only apolitical branch of our government.”
