MANHATTAN — The farmers and ranchers of the state’s leading agriculture advocacy organization announce their endorsement of incumbent Rep. Ron Estes in Kansas’ 4th 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. 

“During his time on the Hill, Congressman Ron Estes has proven himself to be a genuine friend of the farmer, especially on the Ways and Means Committee where he’s worked to open doors for agricultural trade,” says KFB President Joe Newland. “Estes’ brand of leadership continues to gain him respect and influence, as shown by robust grassroots support from county Farm Bureau organizations in south-central Kansas.”

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. To learn more about VOTE FBF, visit www.kfb.org/votefbf.
