My husband, @colinmcroberts.bsky.social , is running in KS-01 to unseat Tracey Mann, the Republican incumbent. Yesterday his primary opponent sneered at him for not quitting his teaching job to run the campaign full time.

A photo of a blond woman in a black jacket sitting at a conference table. The caption reads "Since I declared my candidacy in January, I have committed to running this race full-time. This is a tough race in a HUGE congressional district (the 14th largest, out of all 435). I firmly believe the people who nominate the Democratic challenger to Tracey Mann deserve a candidate who will not treat campaigning like a side hustle. Today we learned that my primary challenger, Colin McRoberts, is teaching Monday through Thursday at the KU Lawrence campus for the Fall semester. Although I have said since Day One that Colin would be a much better congressman than Tracey Mann, I'm concerned that our chances of beating Mann are severely diminished if the challenger is a part-time candidate."

My hot take: Let's not make fun of people who can't afford to quit their jobs to become full-time politicians. Having regular people (and teachers!) run for office is Good, Actually.

Colin travels across the KS-01 district to talk to people constantly. He researches issues and makes videos. www.tiktok.com/@colinforcon.... He shows up constantly to support the Democratic candidates in other races. AND he does all this in addition to his job and family.

I feel this. Someone who takes their responsibilities seriously and has committed to teaching four days a week would 100% get my vote. It speaks to character and tenacity, but also skill and ability. Teaching adults and older kids builds incredible people skills. I hope he will win!!!!!!
