Yes, its always irritating to show up to vote and finding that you have no idea who half of the candidates are. Providing this thread which I hope will help. When you link be aware that the linked candidate list from the Kansas Secretary of State includes both Republicans and Democrats. I previously provided some information in the State Activism section which I may move over here.

If you are like me you have a small bale of campaign literature in the last 3 or 4 weeks. Feel free to share information and discussion on statewide and local races and candidates here.

“Unfortunately, KFL endorses Dr. Roger Marshall and not Kris Kobach to represent Kansas for the US Senate. Another mailer against Kobach, claiming he, Kobach is pro-choice as of a statement by Kobach in 2004, which is untrue!
Ive known Kobach far longer than 2004, which is claimed to be the date Kobach is supposed to have made the statement that he is pro-choice!
Balderdash, if one chooses to overlook the underhanded way Dr. Marshall (from the onset, supported by BIG monied money people, especially ethanol companies) colluded with the DC Swamp, Kansas RINOs. former speaker of the house, John Boehner and Mitch McConnell to keep a very, very strong conservative, Tim Huelscamp from being re-elected, claiming Kobach is pro-choice, not true.
For whatever reason, KFL has chosen to endorse Marshall, yet also endorse another few suspect KS candidates claiming they are pro-life but have supported Planned Parenthood through other agencies and against those trying to show how abortion proponents selling unborn babies’ body parts as well as embryonic stem cell research.
So much for KFL enforcements this year!”

“Considering all the candidates, there is one I do not want to see as 3rd District Rep. from experience & it’s Amanda’s Atkins. She’s a Swamp RINO DC would love to hang out with Liz Cheney.
Out of the rest, I think Mike Beeler. He’d be a good match for Trump and loyal supporter.

BTW those awful ads against Kobach are paid for by backers of Marshall are a group with 3 million against Kobach (McConnell backed group wanting no more anti-swamp RINOs) headed up by a former Bernie election guru.”

I can take it! I have been regularly scolded for going the wrong way down the aisle at HyVee to buy up all the remaining Tonic Water!

KS Lockdown; We will find out Monday when the KS Head School Marm lets us know! (Was Warned that it might affect our grown daughter’s Day Services.)

(Checking the mail and comments, and heading back to chores.)

Yeah. had a comment from a shopper at CVS (I’m loathe to shop there as they are China’s version of a drug store) but when another scold caught me trying to breathe by lowering my mask below my nose, I told her Dr Fauchi said I could loot or burn CVS down & he didn’t think I or my fellow peaceful protesters were in any danger, so long as we tried to socially distance ourselves, maybe she could get back to her aisle & leave me alone!

She did but also reported me to the staff (a word to the wise: CVS shoppers report others for breathing in Overland Park!)

I think Hamilton’s commercials are a hoot. I do not think he has much of a chance in a state wide race but would like to be proved wrong.

I know Hamilton sold his plumbing business several years ago, but his candidacy can't be making the new owners happy. And if he wins the nomination they'll have to repaint all their trucks.

Hamilton sold his business to a Memphis outfit known as American Residential Services in 2017.

On Fox 4 Thursday night I was listening to Dave Helling(?) give his weekly segment. His opinion, fwiw, is the race will be between Marshall and Kobach with Marshall edging out a win.

And look out for Bollier hr ads are pretty slick, IMO, and notice that she does not advertise as the Democratic party candidate.

Finally the only polling I found was here...
https://www.270towin.com/2020-senate-polls/kansas/
I know nothing about this outfit whatsover.

Bollier is running about 42%, Kobach and Marshall are at about 42%

And Hamilton is at 40%, wadda ya know, eh?

Well next week we will see

Regards

Hamilton is a joke and the rest are nobodies. Marshall is the establishment candidate and it could be close. The unknown is whether the Democrats do the same thing they did in 2018 and cross over to vote Kobach as the candidate easier to beat.

And look out for Bollier hr ads are pretty slick, IMO, and notice that she does not advertise as the Democratic party candidate.

Bollier is probably one of the most serious threats the Democrats have had in generations to take the Senate seat. She's had no opposition and has managed to pain a very attractive picture of herself. She is a serious candidate no matter who wins on Tuesday.

Read the following article, especially the part about the Democrats’ “Sunflower State PAC,” “Old Town Media,” “Unite the Country,” “Amalgamated Bank” and “Senate Majority PAC.” The Democrats are throwing many millions of dollars into supporting Kobach and stopping Marshall in the primary.

And see Marshall’s positions on the issues here. Follow the links to the issues. It looks like there’s nothing wrong with Marshall, and that he’s a solid conservative.

Chatted with former Hamilton employees installing my new furnace, one guy said working for the company was OK but he just got to the point where he could longer do what the company was telling them he and others had to do.

He said that they were all told never to “repair” anything for those over their 60s and older.

They were only replace with brand new and (this is what got to me) “they won’t know the difference anyway.”

He said most of those customers didn’t really need brand new stuff but that their repair would be just as safe and their hvac units would be good as new for a long time.

The guy told me after I asked him, if he was now working for less at the new company, “no,” he said, “Bob Hamilton company just made more from selling all new stuff than they did with repairs!”

Moral of the story that Bob Hamilton cares more for his bottom line than he does for even long time customers & doesn’t consider it dishonest to tell his customers they need new units when they don’t need them at all!

Hamilton successful business guy, probably; honest and trustworthy, not so much. Sell yourself as a Christian - you give other Christians bad reputations!

Vote for Hamilton, I wouldn’t.

Except from that article:

“The Democrats have invented Sunflower State PAC, which has already spent $2.5 million propping up Kobach and attacking Congressman Roger Marshall, R-Kan. The PAC will spend another $2.2 million against Marshall before the primary Tuesday.

As James Arkin reported in Politico on July 15: “Sunflower State has apparent ties to Democrats. The media buyer used to place the ad, Old Town Media, was also used to place more than $11 million in ads from Unite the Country, the pro-Joe Biden super PAC that spent heavily in the Democratic presidential primary. Sunflower State also holds its account at Amalgamated Bank, which is used by Senate Majority PAC, a top Democratic outside group, among other prominent Democratic groups, including Biden’s campaign, according to the filing with the Federal Election Commission.”

If you all are mail-in, make sure to actually drive your ballots to a secure BOE drop box or location. The USPS, unfortunately, cannot be trusted.

The new Bob Hamilton company gave me a massively overinflated estimate to upgrade my electrical service. I used another contractor.

Yes, this another way liberals and RINOs play the game but I can assure you that no matter who wins, if it’s not Marshall, all of the RINOs will endorse Bollier (which is who they wanted in the first place), just like the GOP RINOs did each time with Dennis Moore and Kathleen Sebelius!

Why the silly GOP voters remember or don’t pay any attention to election cycle after election cycle, is beyond me but this is the game liberals of either party but mostly GOP play.

Anyone at all remember ads in the Kansas City Star claiming “Republicans for Moore,” “Republicans for Sebelius?”
