2020 KS Senatorial race: on Principles & Values


Roger Marshall: His nickname "Doc" disallowed on primary ballot

Marshall will not be able to use the nickname "Doc" on the Republican primary ballot.

The Kansas State Objections Board rejected Marshall's request. It says the nickname referred to Marshall's medical career, and professional accomplishments or titles aren't allowed on ballots.

Dave Lindstrom: A vocal advocate for capitalism; socialism is a cancer

Dave will fight to defeat socialism and prevent it from taking root in the United States.

Dave is a vocal advocate for capitalism and the opportunities it creates for American families. Dave is living proof that the American Dream is possible no matter where you have your start in life. But the key ingredients are hard work, opportunity and freedom to pursue those opportunities as they come before you. Socialism, by contrast, is a cancer on economies and destroyer of freedom.

Dave Lindstrom: America must repent & pray for an awakening and revival

Wherever socialism has come to power, that power has sought to supplant God and raise the idol of government for worship and dependence. The pattern is holding once again as leaders in the Democrat party openly advocate using the tax code to penalize churches, using the force of government to silence the word of God from the pulpit and to criminalize the bedrock beliefs upon which this country was founded. It is time for America to repent, to pray for an awakening and revival through our land.

Barbara Bollier: She didn't leave GOP; they left her

The way Bollier tells it, she didn't leave the Republican Party so much as the GOP left her. The party she grew up in no longer had room for socially moderate, fiscal conservatives like herself, she says. "Over time, it became clear to me that I really didn't have much in common with Republican leadership much anymore, and they had no interest in common-sense policies that would really serve the people of Kansas," Bollier told voters.

Susan Wagle: We need to be a more diverse party to remain relevant

One of Wagle's biggest concerns for Kansas voters is identity voting, which is voting for someone who you identify with. This identity voting could hurt the Kansas Republican Party due to the lack of diversity, Wagle said. "We have very few women elected compared to the Democrats," Wagle said. "We need to be a more diverse party if we want to remain relevant."

Dave Lindstrom: Concerned about growing embrace of socialism

Lindstrom said he's concerned about what he sees as a growing embrace of socialism and "I think our country's under attack."

"People are making promises with other people's money and resources that they cannot keep, that they understand are not sustainable--that will create an environment in this country, of one of entitlement, as opposed to hard work," he said. "That's what I mean when I talk about socialism."

Dave Lindstrom: Played on KC Chiefs; served on Turnpike Authority's board

The former NFL player and businessman made an unsuccessful run for statewide office in 2002 as a running mate for Republican Tim Shallenburger, who lost the race for governor to Democrat Kathleen Sebelius.

Starting in 1978, Lindstrom played eight seasons for the Chiefs as a defensive end before retiring from the NFL to launch a career in business. Lindstrom, a native of Massachusetts and graduate of Boston University, opted to remain in Kansas after leaving football.

"The quality of life and cost of living is in my mind unmatched in this country and possibly the world," Lindstrom said.

He owned four Burger King franchises in the Kansas City area until 2011 and served on the Johnson County Commission for a decade. Former Gov. Sam Brownback first appointed him to the Turnpike Authority's board in 2013 and he became chairman three years later.
