Democratic attorney Chris Mann is positioning to make another run for attorney general against Republican incumbent Kris Kobach in 2026.
Mann has a fundraiser scheduled for later this week in Leawood and has already set up a fundraising account with ActBlue. He has not officially filed for the office, however.
A former police officer whose law enforcement career was interrupted when he was struck by a drunk driver during a traffic stop, Mann lost by 1.6 percentage points, or 15,892 votes out of nearly 1 million votes cast in the 2022 attorney general's race.
