Adam Hamilton won the Democratic primary in Kansas’s 11-way Senate race and will challenge incumbent Roger Marshall. The article describes the candidates’ fundraising and early campaign attacks as Marshall seeks another term.
Adam Hamilton won the Democratic primary Tuesday night and will face incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall, who is seeking a second term. Marshall criticized Hamilton as “too woke for Kansas,” while a Hamilton campaign spokesperson responded by criticizing Marshall’s record and campaign activity.
The article says Hamilton had raised just over $4.1 million since launching his campaign in February, compared with just over $6.2 million for Marshall during the cycle, citing Federal Election Commission filings. Marshall said his campaign would keep working despite being outspent previously, and said he hoped not to need additional help from Republican campaign organizations.
