## Resource

Kansas’ Attorney General race is heating up as a close, national-watch contest between Republican Kris Kobach and Democrat Chris Mann. Once seen as a sure GOP win, polls now show it leaning Republican — a subtle but significant shift signaling Democrats may have more than they thought. Mann, a former cop backed by small-dollar donors, vows to fight “dark money” while Kobach admits outside spending won’t derail his MAGA-focused strategy. Both parties’ AG associations are pouring cash into the race, with Democrats zeroing in on Kobach’s past ties to “We Build the Wall.” As November nears, Kansas is becoming a bellwether battleground — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
