News: Republicans Debate Kansas Senate Seat
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas voters have said no to Kris Kobach twice over the past four years, but the immigration hard-liner is pursuing a political comeback. Kobach is running for Kansas attorney general after losing a general election for governor in 2018 and a Republican primary for the U.S. Senate in 2020. Opponents say Kobach could lose the seat to a Democrat given his past struggles with voters. But Kobach says his two statewide wins for secretary of state show he can win in a conservative tide in November. Kobach’s Republican primary opponents, state Sen. Kellie Warren and former federal prosecutor Tony Mattivi, lack his name recognition.
