Kansas Farm Bureau’s (KFB) Voters Organized To Elect Farm Bureau Friends (VOTE FBF) political action committee today announces its endorsements for Kansas legislative races.

Since 1993, VOTE FBF has endorsed and supported candidates for public office who support farming, ranching and rural Kansas. The 10-member VOTE FBF board relies heavily on the recommendations of members across the state in elevating candidates who understand and champion agricultural issues.

“We are proud to represent our members as the Voice of Agriculture, and we believe our grassroots-driven endorsement process does just that,” says KFB President Rich Felts. “County Farm Bureau boards across the state have been working for months talking to and vetting candidates. Their voices are reflected in the endorsements VOTE FBF has made.”

VOTE FBF previously announced endorsements in federal races for Sen. Jerry Moran, and Reps. Tracey Mann (KS 1), Jake LaTurner (KS 2) and Ron Estes (KS 4). Yesterday, it endorsed Derek Schmidt for Kansas governor.

Kansas Farm Bureau encourages members to continue researching candidates in races where no endorsements have been made.
