History of MainStream Coalition
The MainStream Coalition is a political advocacy group established in 1993 in Johnson County, Kansas. It was established over concerns about the separation of church and state, the growing influence of the Religious Right, and the rise of ultra-conservative politics in Johnson County, greater Kansas, and the United States.
The MainStream Coalition supports the placement of moderate candidates in local, state and national elections. Founding members include Reverend Bob Meneilly, Kansas legislators Nancy Brown and Carol Sader, and human rights activists and Jewish community leaders Judy Hellman, David Goldstein and Rabbi Mark Levin.
