NRCC to run $580000 ads in Kansas 2nd District race
A national Republican group plans a $580,000 television ad campaign in Kansas 2nd District this fall as Democrat Nancy Boyda seeks a second term against GOP contender Lynn Jenkins. The NRCC move follows a Democratic group halting a rival $1.2 million effort, while Jenkins accuses Boyda of courting leadership funds and Boyda faces criticism over outside support. The campaign is part of a larger $17.8 million national push, with timing possibly shifting if races shift.
