KS-SEN: National Republicans will spend to defend Kansas Senate seat

[RandySF]

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is making a last-minute bid to defend a Senate seat in Kansas that the party has held for more than a century.

The NRSC will begin airing ads on behalf of Rep. Roger Marshall (R), the Republican nominee running to replace the retiring Sen. Pat Roberts (R), beginning on Wednesday, sources told The Hill.

Details of the advertising blitz were not immediately available.

Marshall, a two-term Republican who represents a sprawling rural district that covers all or parts of 63 western Kansas counties, won support from national Republicans in this year’s primary. Those Republicans feared Roberts’s seat would be in play if former Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R), the arch-conservative architect of President Trump’s immigration plans, won the primary.

Marshall beat Kobach by a comfortable margin, 40 percent to 26 percent.

1. That's got to gall the donors a bit, to have to defend a senate seat in KANSAS

I'm sure they have massive dark money for this, but it got to hurt a little.
