Kansas Farm Bureau’s (KFB) Voters Organized To Elect Farm Bureau Friends (VOTE FBF) political action committee today announced its endorsements for Kansas Senate and House elections.

“VOTE FBF endorsements are earned by candidates who demonstrate they understand the issues farmers and ranchers face,” says KFB President Glenn Brunkow. “County Farm Bureau boards across the state have been working for months talking to and vetting candidates to provide grassroots feedback with the ultimate goal of electing candidates who will support agriculture and rural communities.”

Since 1993, VOTE FBF has endorsed and supported candidates who support KFB policy and understand the needs of Kansas agriculture. The 10-member VOTE FBF board also values the recommendations of members across the state based on their personal interactions with candidates.

In federal races, VOTE FBF previously endorsed the re-election of Reps. Tracey Mann (KS 1), Derek Schmidt (KS 2) and Ron Estes (KS 4).

In the Kansas gubernatorial and lieutenant gubernatorial race, VOTE FBF endorsed Vicki Schmidt and Joe Newland.

VOTE FBF is funded through voluntary contributions. For more information about VOTE FBF and the endorsement process, visit www.kfb.org/votefbf.
