TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A Republican super PAC is deploying workers and attention to two Kansas congressional districts.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the Congressional Leadership Fund recently set up offices in Kansas’ 2nd District and 3rd District.
In the 2nd District, Democrat Paul Davis faces Steve Watkins, a GOP newcomer. In the 3rd District, Rep. Kevin Yoder is facing Democratic newcomer Sharice Davids.
Each CLF office will have a full-time employee working with volunteers who inform targeted voters on the work that their representative in Congress does on their behalf. The goal is to help encourage them to go to the polls in November.
Michael Byerly, a CLF spokesman, said the offices are part of the group’s effort to protect the Republican majority in the U.S. House.
Democratic leaders say the move indicates the GOP is concerned about losing the two Kansas districts.
