Good morning, Wichita!
I started the day at Boeing, shaking hands with the night crew heading home and the morning crew coming in. When I was growing up, my dad was one of them. Hardworking people are the reason Wichita is still the Air Capital of the World. – AH

🚩 Ty Masterson wants to run Kansas, but struggled to answer a basic question about his own job from KAKE News: How many hours a week did you work?
He repeated “full time,” compared his pay to the reporter’s, then attacked the journalism.
Here’s what’s documented:
💰 WSU’s FY2027 budget lists his GoCreate position at $241,781 annually.
📧 The Kansas City Star reported 14 outgoing university emails over four months, compared with 532 from the assistant director. More than 17 of the 26 pages released were blank or completely redacted.
🧾 The Star reported he collected more than $1.1 million over roughly a
❓That doesn’t explain the Star’s account that Assistant Director Kimberly McCollum introduced herself as “the director here.”
💰GoCreate receives Koch support. Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity is also backing Masterson for governor with $10M+ in Koch support. Those connections make transparency especially important.
📢 If Masterson thinks this is an “easy debunk,” he should provide the records. Kansans deserve accountability from someone asking to be governor.

Kansas voters: do YOU know how many hours a week you work? I’m sure you do. Think twice about voting for Ty Masterson.

Kansas needs a Secretary of State who can earn public trust and do the work.
@ScottMorganKS brings experience working for Bob Dole, Nancy Kassebaum and Gov. Mike Hayden, along with two terms on the Lawrence school board.
In today’s Kansas Reflector, the United Kansas Party candidate outlines concrete priorities:
▪️ Strengthen protection of voter registration records.
▪️ Improve election audits.
▪️ Give county election officials the technical support they need.
▪️ Build public confidence through competent, accountable administration.
His assessment of policymaking driven by election conspiracies:
“Conspiracies are a lousy thing to make public policy on.”
Pat Proctor, meanwhile, refused to answer the Reflector’s questions:
“There’s not a chance in hell I’m answering questions for your paper.”
Answering questions—including difficult questions from journalists—is part of seeking public office.
Morgan also makes a straightforward case for giving Kansans another choice. His background and proposals deserve consideration on their merits. No political party owns your vote.

The mayor of Great Bend:
“Look, it’s quite obvious he doesn’t live here anymore. He lives in Florida. He has a little hunting lodge south of Great Bend in Stafford County. And I think that’s an issue for people ... He’s become disconnected with a lot of people around here.”

🗳️ Only citizens can vote in Kansas. That’s already the law. So why change the Constitution?
United Kansas candidate for secretary of state Scott Morgan asks that question in today’s Topeka Capital-Journal.
In 1918, Kansans voted nearly 3 to 1 to end voting eligibility for noncitizens. The “Every citizen” language we have today has served that purpose for more than a century.
Now, a proposed amendment would replace that affirmative protection with language beginning: “No person shall be deemed a qualified elector unless…”
Before rewriting our fundamental rights, lawmakers owe Kansans a clear explanation of what problem they’re solving.
The amendment itself requires no new citizenship documents. But Scott raises a serious concern about whether its wording could be used to justify additional barriers for eligible citizens in the future.
As Scott writes:
“A constitution is not ordinary legislation, and we should not amend it merely because we can.”
Protect every eligible citizen’s right to vote. Vote NO on the constitutional amendment November 3.
Read Scott’s column:
Is changing Kansas voting language really necessary?

"My last essay was about the depravity of Trump’s mockery of a mentally ill young man’s brutal death inside a tiger enclosure. That story barely made a ripple. But on Thursday, Trump called Vivek Ramaswamy’s despicable campaign ad, 'pay dirt.'”

Kansans are worried about data centers, and so am I. That's why I've called for a statewide pause until real protections are in place. I'll always listen to Kansans and make decisions based on what's best for working families, not billionaires and special interests.

Former Kansas Governor Mike Hayden is backing Scott Morgan for Secretary of State.
Governor Hayden’s support reflects something at the heart of United Kansas: public service doesn’t have to be about party labels. It can be about experience, judgment, steady leadership, and putting Kansas first.
Scott Morgan is offering Kansans something different — an approach focused on competent government and bringing people together.
We’re proud to have Governor Hayden standing with Scott and the growing number of Kansans who believe there should be another choice.
Not Republican. Not Democrat. United Kansas. 🌻

A referee shouldn’t pick sides. Should the Secretary of State?
In this video, @ScottMorganKS explains why he believes the person overseeing Kansas elections should be a neutral referee, putting voters ahead of political parties.

🚨 Roger Marshall wrote a bill to deregulate "biological pesticides." He got it into the farm bill. It would help companies owned by his friend & donor's private equity firm, Nueterra.
Marshall's wife is *also* invested in those Nueterra-owned businesses.
