The Kansas Farm Bureau on Wednesday rolled out its endorsements, becoming the fourth major state organization to reveal who it is backing in this year’s elections.
So far, we have already posted the endorsements for Kansans for Life, the Kansas National Education Association and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce.
But remember our caveat: This only includes endorsements in contested primary elections, so it is very likely you will not see some familiar names on the list.
We will post the endorsements for the general elections in the fall.
The Farm Bureau has already endorsed Congressman Roger Marshall in the U.S. Senate race, Republican Tracey Mann in the 1st Congressional District and Republican U.S. Rep. Ron Estes in the 4th District.
