TOPEKA (KSNT)- Kansans are days away from voting in the primary election on Aug. 2.

There are many things on the ballot besides the Value Them Both amendment. One of those is determining who will go to the general election for the now open attorney general seat.

This week, 27 News spoke with attorney general candidates Kellie Warren and Tony Mattivi, two of three republican candidates in the race for attorney general. On Thursday, 27 News sat down with Kris Kobach who is looking to secure a spot for the general election in November.

The hot topic everyone wants to know about is the Value Them Both amendment. Kobach said he is 100% in favor of the amendment, calling the Kansas Supreme Court 2019 decision”horrendous”.

“It returns us to the prior status quo before the Kansas Supreme Court made that really horrible mistake,” Kobach said. “And as a result of that mistake, right now, you’re seeing a massive increase in people coming into Kansas to get abortions. We are becoming kind of the destination abortion state of the midwest. And that’s why the ‘yes’ vote is so critical,” Kobach said.

Kobach also stated a yes vote, “…would correct that error of the Kansas Supreme Court, and make clear that there is no constitutional right to an abortion in Kansas. Rather the legislature can decide how they want to regulate it.”

That abortion question in Kansas will be interesting. Is it for the primary or general?

Apparently the primary on Tuesday.

Can he win in November? He’s a proven loser.

At one time Kobach was a really good guy. Increasingly, though, he is looking like one of those perpetual politicians who, after losing one race, immediately goes after a different seat.

The RINOs in KS don't like Kobach because of his outspoken conservative values. Many of them voted for commie Kelly in 2018 or stayed home.

Unfortunately, if he wins the primary next Tuesday, I expect a repeat scenario. There are two other good AG candidates who are common sense conservatives running in the primary, both of whom will have a better chance of winning in the November general. There is some concern they may split the anti-Kobach vote.

He is a proven looser which is why I didn’t vote for him.
