In their Wednesday debate, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly and Attorney General Derek Schmidt focused in on two politicians who were not on the stage and won’t be on the ballot in November — the president and a former governor.
The second and final debate in the race for Kansas governor was hosted by the Johnson County Bar Association at the Double Tree Hotel in Overland Park, where Kansas attorneys and politicos in attendance enjoyed a banquet lunch as the two contenders traded barbs.
Kelly, the Democratic incumbent, leaned on her record over the last few years and returned to a common refrain comparing GOP nominee Schmidt to former Gov. Sam Brownback.
