Another day and another visit to Great Bend by a candidate seeking the Republican nomination for Governor. Current Secretary of State Kris Kobach and his running mate, Wichita businessman Wink Hartman, both stopped by the Eagle Media Center Friday seeking an opportunity to lay out their vision for the state under a Kobach administration. Kobach talked about many issues including education funding in Kansas.

Another high priority for Kobach is funding for Kansas roads. He says the recent trend of raiding K-DOT to help shore up the state budget will come to an end if he is elected governor.

After stopping in Great Bend Friday afternoon, Kobach and Hartman both headed to Ellinwood where they attended the Ellinwood After Harvest Festival.

We visited L.D. Drilling in Great Bend to talk more about the oil and gas industry. We are committed to cutting taxes and red tape that allows business to grow jobs statewide, including within the energy industry. We will create jobs in rural communities. #ksleg #MKGA #TeamKobach pic.twitter.com/YpsAw7ckVF

Kobach is part of a crowded field in the republican primary for governor that includes current Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer, former state senator Jim Barnett, current Insurance Commission Ken Selzer and former Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer.
