Sherrer Won't Run as Glasscock Weighs Governor Bid
Kansas Republicans face a shifting governor's race as Lt. Gov. Sherrer announces he will not seek the post, delaying Kent Glasscock's decision to reenter and leaving contenders like Wichita Mayor Bob Knight and Dan Bloom in the field alongside Carla Stovall’s exit and Tim Shallenburger's conservative backing.
