Earlier this year Sen. Jerry Moran and 3rd district Representative Kevin Yoder were also endorsed.

Kansas Farm Bureau President Rich Felts said all decisions were based on county recommendations from across the state.

“The county Farm Bureau evaluation committees made thoughtful recommendations in each district.  A clear message of strong support was delivered to the VOTE FBF board, and these endorsements are a result of that effort.  We are proud of our grass roots process, and look forward to working with all of these individuals in the new Congress.”

VOTE FBF was created in 1993 to help elect friends of agriculture and rural Kansas.  It has a more than 90 percent success rate in helping place endorsed candidates in office.
