KANSAS' THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

For the last 9 years, Dennis Moore has represented Kansas' Third Congressional District.

Despite his near-decade of service, Moore has failed to achieve any substantive legislative victories, serving as little more than a rubber-stamp for Democratic leadership.

Will 2008 be the year Wyandotte, Douglas and Johnson Counties awake from their 5-cycle slumber?
