Featured speakers are:
Katy Tyndell candidate for KS District 4 &

Katy Tyndell brings a strong background in law, leadership, and civic engagement to her campaign in KS-04. A fifth-generation Kansan, she moved to Wichita from Washington, D.C., where she was a staff attorney for the National Congress of American Indians. She now manages Tallgrass Management, LLC, overseeing operations and serving as legal advisor for affiliated family companies.
Katy is a co-founder of the civic engagement organization Leading Kansas, the former chair of the Sedgwick County Fire District Steering Committee, and a long-time volunteer for Moms Demand Action and the Wichita NAACP. She holds a B.A. from Stanford (2004) and a J.D. from the University of Maryland (2009), and is licensed to practice law in four states, including Kansas. Her legal expertise, nonprofit leadership, and deep Kansas roots guide her work to advance civic renewal, accountability, and cross-partisan dialogue. She’s inspired daily by her husband and their three children to help build a stronger, more just Kansas.

After getting his start in Wichita politics as Deputy Campaign Manager for former Mayor Brandon Whipple, Logan moved to Topeka to serve as Legislative Director for the Kansas House Democrats and House Minority Leader Vic Miller. In addition to his legislative work, in his role as Deputy Political Director and as a consultant, Logan helped recruit a record number of female and minority candidates and worked with over 100 municipal and state legislative candidates across Kansas.
