Published

Kansas Farm Bureau’s Voters Organized To Elect Farm Bureau Friends (VOTE FBF) Political Action Committee (PAC) has released its election candidate endorsements for state and federal races in Kansas. Since 1993, VOTE FBF has endorsed and supported candidates for public office who support family farming and ranching.
“The VOTE FBF board is proud of our grassroots endorsement process,” Rich Felts, Kansas Farm Bureau president, said. “County Farm Bureau boards across the state provided input, which served as the primary guide to the VOTE FBF board. We want to help elect these candidates who we believe will vote in the best interests of agriculture.”
VOTE FBF endorsed Jeff Colyer for Kansas Governor and Derek Schmidt for Kansas Attorney General.
In Congressional races, VOTE FBF endorsed Congressman Roger Marshall for re-election in Kansas' 1st Congressional District; Caryn Tyson for the 2nd Congressional District and Rep. Ron Estes (R-KS 4). Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-KS 3) was endorsed earlier this year.
