"Give Schollenberger credit for addressing one of the most important issues facing Kansans in the coming years - how to boost fortunes in the western half of the state... Schollenberger's playbook: Get this campaign back on issues that affect Kansas and Kansans"
Kansas U.S. Senate candidate Charles Schollenberger is now supporting the creation of a Great Plains National Park... True, Schollenberger is a Democrat, running not only in GOP-friendly Kansas, but also in a difficult climate for his party. Still, he's got this one right and for the right reasons. Schollenberger has pledged to support the rather grand idea for a new national park in western Kansas because it both preserves the native Kansas prairie and "the tourism generated by the park could also become a potential savior to the dwindling local economies."
Give Schollenberger credit for addressing one of the most important issues facing Kansans in the coming years - how to boost fortunes in the western half of the state...

"Charles Schollenberger is the the best choice is a novice field"
In the Democratic primary, Charles Schollenberger is the best choice in a novice field. The longtime political activist and former Congressional staffer has been around the game since the 1970s, which helps to compensate for his lack of experience in actually holding an office.
Schollenberger believes in cutting the federal budget by limiting earmarks and pruning defense spending. He's a strong advocate of green job potential for Kansans through wind energy. . .

"Schollenberger a solid choice for Democrats"
Schollenberger - a retired newspaper journalist and communications executive from Prairie Village - also would make the general election campaign competitive. Schollenberger has been in the race far longer than any of the others, having started last summer in an exploratory mode. He has been visible since and active in articulating position papers on 10 key issues, from agriculture to energy, foreign policy and the economy. This is impressive, and it makes Schollenberger a solid choice for Democrats.

"Schollenberger is the best pick of the bunch"
Schollenberger is the best pick of the bunch. He has worked the hardest of any other candidate, like when he toured the state to hear directly from Kansans. He is bright and well-spoken, and Democrats need someone of his caliber for the fall campaign.
