One of the few moderate Republicans in state politics, Schmidt is the target of an anti-public education group

In the classic 1972 film “Jeremiah Johnson,” a character tells the mountain man (Robert Redford) “A tribe’s greatness is figured on how mighty its enemies be.”

The same is true in politics.

And Vicki Schmidt has some mighty enemies as she runs for governor of Kansas.
