Summary
A new Kansas law, backed by Republicans, could dramatically reshape the state’s Senate race by forcing Gov. Laura Kelly to pick from a Legislature-approved list — potentially letting an appointee dodge a vote until 2028. If Sen. Roger Marshall resigns after winning his primary, this law could let Republicans install a replacement without immediate election, sparking legal battles and shifting Senate power — all while the Constitution doesn’t allow such term delays.
