Kobach struggles to get his fellow Republicans to publicly support him
By Eric Boehlert - October 29, 2018
Even many Kansas Republicans are terrified of what will happen if Kris Kobach becomes their governor.
With just over a week until the final votes are cast, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is still too toxic to get unified support from his fellow Republicans in his run for Kansas governor.
While Kansas is a deep-red state, a chorus of former and current GOP officials have publicly signaled their support for Kobach’s Democratic opponent, Laura Kelly.
To date, nearly 30 prominent Republicans in Kansas have crossed the aisle to side with Kelly over Kobach.
They include two of the state’s former GOP governors, Mike Hayden and Bill Graves; former Republican U.S. Senator Nancy Kassebaum; and more than two dozen other current and former state officials.
And while not all Kansas Republicans have endorsed Kobach’s Democratic opponent, plenty of others would prefer to avoid talking about Kobach at all.

Nearly 40 percent of Republicans in the Kansas state legislature wouldn’t tell the Wichita Eagle last month if they planned on supporting Kobach in November.
“I’m not going to take a position on that race. I just don’t feel like it’s any benefit to me to do that,” House Majority Whip Kent Thompson told the newspaper.
