On the recommendation of its Lawrence members, Kansas Equality PAC has endorsed candidates for the upcoming City Commission election. The endorsed candidates are:
- Carey Maynard-Moody
- David Schauner
- Boog Highberger
The new commissioners will probably be the ones who decide on the proposed domestic partner registry. Although merely a list of names, the registry will help both same-sex and heterosexual partners access health insurance and other benefits from some employers.
It's important for anyone who believes in fairness to support and vote for Maynard-Moody, Schauner and Highberger.
Here are some key dates in the upcoming election. By the way, advance voting has already begun.

Do you know what the position of the other candidates (besides those three) for city commission are on the domestic partner registry?
Hi Mike!
As I understand it, Lawrence people talked to all the other candidates, who either opposed the registry or attempted to evade the question. That kind of non-answer answer tells me that a candidate can't be depended on to support us in a vote.
However, I did not personally interview the candidates. If you, a candidate or someone else has different information, PLEASE post!
Many thanks.
