The Republican Party already has their sights on the 2022 midterm elections. And if conventional wisdom holds, the party will prevail next November.
One campaign to watch will be the Kansas gubernatorial race. Incumbent Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, is up for re-election and Republicans are eager to retake the Governor’s Mansion.
Governor Kelly beat her Republican challenger, former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, by a 48% to 43% margin. It’s a loss, no doubt, that still stings today.
A potential Republican challenger to Kelly could be current Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt (R-KS). He’s served in his role since 2010 and was comfortably re-elected in 2014 and 2018.

Release Date: Jan 20, 2021 LIBERAL – (January 20, 2021) – A former clerk of the Seward County District Court has been sentenced to pay $2,962 in restitution and serve 12 months of probation for her conviction on one count of misuse of public funds, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said today. Sonia B. Johnson, 57, was sentenced Tuesday by retired Ellis County Judge Edward Bouker during proceedings held through videoconference. Johnson was also ordered to pay a $2,500 fine and serve 12 months of probation with an underlying sentence of six months in prison. Bouker accepted Johnson’s no contest plea on the charge in August. Johnson was convicted for taking more than $8,000 in voided traffic court payments, a non-person felony. An investigation by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation found that Johnson returned most of the money but left the court $2,962 short.
