The Senate Leadership Fund released the following statement after Roger Marshall won the Kansas Republican Senate primary:
“The first skirmish to stop Chuck Schumer’s brazen Senate power grab was fought tonight in Kansas. Kansas Republicans saw right through Schumer’s six-million-dollar man Kris Kobach, which shows they’re on a war footing to keep Pat Roberts’ seat in Republican hands. If Schumer couldn’t pull the wool over their eyes with Kobach, he’s not going to fool them with his loyal left-wing recruit Barbara Bollier.” -SLF President Steven Law
The Senate Leadership Fund spent $2.1 million in the Kansas Senate primary boosting Roger Marshall to ensure Kris Kobach did not win the primary and jeopardize Republican control of the seat. SLF has been adamant from the day Kobach got in the race that he would endanger Republican control of the Senate majority, saying: “Kansas Republicans deserve a nominee who can win.”
