President Donald Trump officially endorsed Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach on Monday, a day before polls close in Kansas in the GOP primary for governor. The endorsement is a major slight to the state's sitting governor, Jeff Colyer of Johnson County, who rose to the state's top office in January after Trump appointed former Gov. Sam Brownback to an ambassadorship.
President Donald Trump's eldest son will stop in Johnson County next month to campaign for conservative firebrand and gubernatorial candidate Kris Kobach, bringing national support to a competitive governor's race at the end of Gov. Sam Brownback's tenure. Donald Trump Jr. will appear alongside Kobach at a campaign dinner and VIP reception Nov. 28 at the Ritz Charles in Overland Park, Kobach said Monday.
Democratic state Rep. Cindy Holscher campaigned and voted for a dramatic shift in Kansas tax and budget priorities during the 2017 legislative session. The Johnson County representative embraced repeal of an income tax exemption to owners of 330,000 businesses and endorsed an increase in the state's personal income tax to close a budget deficit.
We tend to agree with the only dead tree media pundit who matters but only because of a dearth of leadership and decent candidates from the Kansas Democratic Party. Take a peek: If U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder seeks re-election, does the measly seven-point spread in the 4th District contest between Republican Ron Estes and Democrat James Thompson serve as a warning shot to the 3rd District congressman? The comparisons are absolutely ridiculous.

Kansas legislators were convening a special session Thursday to address the state Supreme Court's mandate on education funding and avert a threat that public schools might not reopen next month.
Kansas lawmakers on Wednesday did not act on a state Supreme Court order to create a more equitable funding formula for education, leaving open the possibility that public schools across the state are shut down in June. Both chambers of the Republican-controlled legislature adjourned until January on Wednesday afternoon, five days after the state's high court gave lawmakers until June 30 to fix funding disparities between rich and poor districts or face a shutdown of the state's public schools.
