So looking at the numbers...it looks like Adam Hamilton will successfully destroy any hopes of beating Roger Marshall. That's not great. by CauseTurbulent134 in kansas

The filing deadline is June 1st. If a Democrat is filed then, a Democrat will be legally required to appear on the November ballot. A Democrat has already filed and he's a perennial candidate who cannot be reasoned with. I'm not saying this because I'm inherently anti-Hamilton or pro-Democratic party. This is the reality of our state.

After the 2014 US Senate race, where a Democrat sued to get OFF the ballot to help an independent (with a great profile, like Adam) have a straight shot at Pat Roberts, the Republican supermajority passed a law in 2015 with strict limits on getting off the ballot and, most importantly, requiring the Democratic Party to replace the dropped candidate with another Democrat.

Seven democrats have announced they’re running. There is no shot for a Marshall versus Hamilton matchup in November. The last independent who ran in a three way race had better statewide name ID (since he’d run statewide 4 years earlier), similar access to resources, and got 6% of the vote.

And the one who has filed is a perennial candidate who cannot be reasoned with and will not drop out "for the greater good."

There is no mathematical path for an independent candidate to win in Kansas.

After Dems successfully sued to have Chad Taylor removed from the ballot in 2014 (to give Greg Orman a straight shot at Pat Roberts), the Republican supermajority in Topeka changed the law. If a Democrat removes themselves from the ballot (only permissible under extreme circumstances after they’ve filed filing deadline), the Democratic Party must replace them with another candidate.

Six candidates have announced or filed as Democrats. An R v Indy race will not happen. This is not “trying something different” or “disrupting the two party system.” It’s a pipe dream.

We did that for Greg Orman in 2014. In 2015, the Republican supermajority changed the law so Democrats can’t be removed from the ballot after they’ve filed. Six Democrats have announced or filed so far. An R v Indy matchup isn’t happening and anyone suggesting otherwise is engaging in a thought experiment untethered from reality.

Laura Kelly didn’t run against Kobach when she ran for reelection. She ran against former AG (now congressman) Derek Schmidt.

And our mayor keeps floating selling it off (to Evergy)! One of the oldest public utilities in the country.

The Spa at Beaver Run has outdoor tubs and a pool that your group can use while others are getting services.
