Money flowed into the race on all sides. In the final eight days before the election, outside groups booked $2.5 million in pro-Marshall and anti-Kobach TV ads, according to Medium Buying, which tracks ad purchases. A pro-Kobach group bought $419,000 in air time while a “meddling” group running ads likely to prop up Kobach purchased $2.3 million in air time.
While Marshall, an obstetrician and two-term House incumbent, is considered a stronger general election candidate than the serial extremist Kobach, he’s not out of the woods just yet. Democratic nominee and state senator Barbara Bollier, who won her primary easily tonight, is, as the Star put it, “poised to wage the most competitive Democratic challenge for Senate in Kansas in years.
