Harvey County Voter Guide
Michele Ediger 74 and Matt Smith 72 are running for District!
We have a candidate running for District 74!! Michele Ediger has officially filed to run! She helped organize the Harvey Co Resistance Lab and has done things to help organize protests, and actively works towards getting the issues out. ❤️ This district prior has someone elected from a party that has supported vouchers which remove funds for public schools, nixed healthcare or Medicaid expansion initiatives, and Kansas Reps in the Republican Party have all rubber stamped tariffs that have caused many issues with rural farmers, and costs businesses millions. Michele Ediger is running to give voters a voice on the issues in district 74! We are so glad that SHE has stepped up to represent people in Harvey County.
District 74 is in Red

Take our Country Back [2026]
MANY ISSUES PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH NOW, AND SOME ARE LISTED HERE
SAVE Anti-Voting ACT:
Largely requires more and more paperwork to vote, costing the population millions in database access the government already has. Republicans are said to recant this as they realize this hurts their voters the most.
ICE, a new failure:
We've had people from our state go to see citizens, and everyone treated horrifically in these internment / concentration camps. Kids would be released in the streets wearing half of their clothing in negative temps. ICE's 260 million dollar budget here meant that eat detainee cost 9 million.
Individual Issues handed out from protests:
It's issues like this that make us want to get our in our communities, such as PRECINCTS, our amazing CITIESTOWNSHIPS, and get the word out, that we can
TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK.
2018: MEMORY, During Trump's first admin,and Brownback's governoship, this really got a lot of Dems fired up in Harvey. We are a rural county that voted in favor of Laura Kelly and Tim Hodge. This marked one of the first occasions where we were able to get about 100 people to be present at some meetings!
