Derek Schmidt, standing, talks to a supportive GOP audience about his candidacy for governor of Kansas, Thursday evening in Jack Kilby Square. Other Republicans pictured are, from left: Steven Johnson, running for treasurer; Senator Roger Marshall; Kris Kobach, running for Attorney General; and Congressman Tracey Mann. They encouraged Republicans to vote on Nov. 8 and in doing so to “Fire Kelly, Fire Pelosi.” The GOP bus tour was running behind schedule for its stop in Great Bend; the Great Bend Tribune will post comments from the candidates online Friday and have a complete story in Sunday’s newpaper.
