Amyx said his legal name is Thomas Mike Amyx but he uses Mike. he listed Amyx with Mike as first name on the ballot.

Kobach claims Kansas is sanctuary state. facts say otherwise
The Kansas governor race headlines a debate over immigration policy. Despite Kris Kobach’s slogan that Kansas is the sanctuary state of the Midwest, the state has not passed laws restricting cooperation with federal immigration authorities, unlike Illinois, and does not impose limits on such cooperation. Immigrant population data further shape the assessment. Local officials and experts note Kansas’ current stance aligns with federal cooperation norms rather than sanctuary policies.
