KS State House - 17 | Lenexa
Jo Ella Hoye
Recommended Amount: $500
The Candidate: Jo Ella Hoye (D) is a mom and committed public servant who has held various management positions in the public, private, and non-profit sectors, most recently as a Senior Analyst in the Johnson County Manager’s Office. Hoye has volunteered for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America for over three and a half years, including as Kansas Chapter Leader.
The Case for Support: Jo Ella Hoye’s Republican opponent won his seat by less than 300 votes in 2018; two years prior he won by just 2,000 votes. Thus, pro-equality advocates see this district trending their way and are optimistic about Hoye’s chances of taking the seat in 2020.
