Governor candidate Robin Jennison travels by bus with a “Jennison for Kansas” sign, dismissing polls as he campaigns across the state. The Healy leader aims to outwork Gov. Kathleen Sebelius in the August 1 Republican primary using traditional, door‑to‑door campaigning and a rodeo‑shaped, boot‑clad image.
Robin Jennison selects State Sen. Dennis Wilson as running mate. The ticket emphasizes reforms to Kansas courts, rural development, tourism promotion, and local school control with higher local tax authority. Campaign notes income from extensive statewide travel and frequent in-person voter outreach.
In Olathe campaign HQ Ken Canfield urges Kansas to prioritize family systems and community well being. The Republican candidate proposes tax relief for new marriages, public private collaboration to boost the economy, and programs to reduce divorce by supporting fathers and families. He cites Oklahoma programs and other states as proof.
Ken Canfield, 52, of Overland Park, author and founder of the National Center for Fathering, is running with Rep. Kathe Decker.

In Abilene during a candidate forum, O’Connor challenged Thornburgh on voter fraud claims and praised Kansas for a statewide voter registration database. Thornburgh dismissed fears as unfounded while opposing open primaries and noting her long political run since 1993. She faces ethics fines and pushes vouchers as she campaigns statewide.
Republican gubernatorial hopeful and physician Jim Barnett argues Kansas needs strong leadership and tax cuts to spur growth outside Johnson County. He criticizes Gov Kathleen Sebelius for sending the $142 million school finance bill to the Supreme Court and notes the court’s rejection and a $290 million funding hike during a tense session.
Jim Barnett, an internal medicine specialist from Emporia, campaigns with state Sen Susan Wagle. The ticket highlights tax cuts, spending restraint, inheritance tax repeal, phased income tax cuts, business investment tax credits, Senate approval of Supreme Court justices, and elimination of the high court nominating commission.
