A former two-term Republican governor of Kansas has endorsed his state’s Democratic candidate for Senate over the Trump-backed Republican.
Bill Graves, who served as governor from 1995 until 2003, announced on Wednesday his support for pastor Adam Hamilton, who faces incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall in November. Marshall is seeking a second term.
In a Kansas City Star opinion piece, Graves, 73, wrote that while Marshall “has turned his back on Kansas,” Hamilton “understands what it means to be compassionate in lifting up those in need, while still appreciating and respecting the contributions of those who make that help possible.”
