MANHATTAN — The farmers and ranchers of the state’s leading agriculture advocacy organization announced on Thursday their endorsement of Rep. Sharice Davids in Kansas’ 3rd District.

The formal endorsement came from Kansas Farm Bureau’s (KFB) political action committee, Voters Organized to Elect Farm Bureau Friends (VOTE FBF), comprised of active farmer/rancher members elected by their peers from each of KFB’s 10 geographic districts. 

The KFB VOTE FBF endorsement process began earlier this year with individual recommendations from the autonomous county Farm Bureau organizations.

“Rep. Davids has worked to build relationships with our members across the 3rd District,” Joe Newland, president of KFB says. “From water conservation to her service on the House Agriculture Committee, Rep. Davids has sought the input of farmers and ranchers as part of her decision-making process. I’m confident she’s the right choice for agriculture and look forward to her re-election.”

Kansas Farm Bureau’s VOTE FBF fund was established in 1993 to elect candidates who understand agriculture and advocate on its behalf. Since its inception, endorsed candidates have won their respective elections in more than 90 percent of races. VOTE FBF is funded through voluntary contributions.
