Republican Kris Kobach sought Tuesday to win a comeback bid for Kansas attorney general after two big losses raised the question of whether he was electable in his home state.
Kobach, a former two-term Kansas secretary of state, was believed to be in a close race with Democrat Chris Mann, a former police officer and local prosecutor making his first run for elective office. Kobach was coming off losses in the Kansas governor's race in 2018 and a U.S. Senate primary in 2020 that Republicans chalked up to lackluster campaigns and political baggage that turned off independent and moderate GOP voters.
