TOPEKA, Kan. _ A Kansas Republican candidate for U.S. Senate is urging Secretary of State Mike Pompeo not to enter the race, warning a campaign would put his credibility at risk.
The Republicans hoping to replace retiring Sen. Pat Roberts have until now mostly remained deferential to Pompeo. They have indicated either that they don't expect him to run or would step aside if he does.
But Dave Lindstrom, a Johnson County businessman and former Kansas City Chiefs player, is now taking a more confrontational approach.
