About Mainstream Coalition:

Mainstream defends the constitutional promise of religious freedom for all by standing firmly for the separation of church and state.

Mainstream was founded in 1993 by a bipartisan coalition of legislators, faith leaders, and community activists with the primary purpose of guarding against ideological extremism and protecting the separation of church and state. For over 30 years we have fought to protect the rights, beliefs, and freedoms of all Kansans in our statehouse and at the ballot box. We advocate boldly at the Statehouse, educate and mobilize voters, and hold elected officials accountable to the Constitution. Our work responds to threats against public education, reproductive healthcare, and LGBTQ+ equality while upholding the First Amendment for everyone — not just the powerful few.

Mainstream voters rely on our candidate recommendations each year when they go to the polls. They know that Mainstream recommends candidates who share our common values and will put Kansans above extremist politics.
