Summary
The Johnson County Democratic Party has pulled support from three Senate challengers—Anne Parelkar, Jason Hart, and Kevin Latz—after a two-thirds vote, citing weak fundraising and lack of serious campaign effort. The move means no official backing from the party’s voter guides, social media, or website. While leadership says they’re prioritizing voters’ best chance against well-funded incumbent Roger Marshall, the candidates fiercely disagree, calling the decision a betrayal of their volunteers and efforts. Others in the race have also received similar notices, sparking debate over fairness and whether the party is truly listening to its base.
