The organization already split its gubernatorial endorsement between Republican Gov. Jeff Colyer and Secretary of State Kris Kobach. It also is noting that Insurance Commissioner Ken Selzer is pro-life.

In other statewide races, KFL is supporting Scott Schwab in the race for secretary of state, Clark Shultz for insurance commissioner, Jake LaTurner for treasurer and Derek Schmidt for attorney general.
