Amanda Adkins Was One of Former Governor Sam
Amanda Adkins was one of former Governor Sam Brownback’s closest advisors, calling him quote “an incredible governor.” Adkins supported Brownback’s tax handouts for big corporations paid for with major cuts to public school budgets. Now, our schools are struggling to pay for the safety precautions needed for students and teachers to safely return to the classroom. Adkins Was Appointed By Brownback To Be Head Of The Kansas Children’s Cabinet. “A former chairwoman of the Kansas Republican Party and longtime adviser to former Gov. Sam Brownback has entered the race to take on Democratic U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids next year. [...] Adkins chaired the state party from 2009 to 2013, overseeing the 2010 election when Republicans, with Brownback at the top of the ticket in the race for governor, won every federal and statewide office. She managed Brownback’s 2004 campaign for U.S. Senate and after he became governor he appointed Adkins to chair the Kansas Children’s Cabinet and Trust Fund, which oversees a variety of childhood programs.” [The Kansas City Star, 9/3/19] Adkins Was Endorsed By Sen. Brownback For GOP Party Chair. “Adkins, of Overland Park, was elected by GOP delegates without opposition to replace Kris Kobach, who stepped aside to prepare his 2010 campaign for secretary of state. She received a key endorsement from Sen. Sam Brownback, who is running for governor.” [New GOP Chair Stressed Winning, Topeka Capital-Journal, 2/1/09] Brownback Praised Adkins For Running His Successful Senate Re-Election Campaign. “Adkins has served on several congressional staffs, worked with the Heritage Foundation and managed Brownback’s last Senate campaign.
