Kansas Republicans fear Roger Marshall may be running out of time
The newest addition to the Senate map is giving Republicans headaches.
WICHITA, Kansas — Kansas Republicans are growing increasingly concerned that Senator Roger Marshall may be running out of time to win his Senate race. The senator's campaign bus sat idle on Tuesday as he and other candidates were delayed, and some Republicans believe he is not campaigning hard enough. Marshall's latest Federal Election Commission report shows he raised less money than his Democratic opponent, Adam Hamilton, during the third quarter.
The race has taken a negative turn for Marshall, with allegations of improper use of campaign funds and a controversial property ownership in Florida. The national Republican Party has pledged $11 million to support Marshall, but some Republicans believe it may be too late for him. Marshall himself has dismissed the allegations as "bologna" and claimed he spends the majority of his time in Kansas.
National Democrats, however, have poured resources into the race, and Hamilton is now flush with cash. One Republican strategist noted that while Kansans are unhappy with both parties, they seem to dislike Democrats more.
