Kansas Republican Rep. Roger Marshall holds a commanding financial advantage in the race to replace retiring Sen. Pat Roberts, far ahead of two GOP competitors who made six-figure personal loans to fund their campaigns.
The western Kansas Congressman, who entered the field with more than $1 million on hand from his last House campaign, collected more than $570,000 during the quarter that ended Sept. 30. He has about $1.9 million in cash on hand, the latest federal filings show.
The personal loans were made by Kansas Senate President Susan Wagle and former Johnson County Commissioner Dave Lindstrom.
