复活联合卫理公会教堂牧师亚当·汉密尔顿宣布竞选堪萨斯州参议员
Read, Watch or Listen
Lenexa, Kan. — The Rev. Adam Hamilton, founding pastor of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection, announced Thursday he is launching a campaign for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Kansas, entering a primary on Aug. 4 against eight Democratic contenders and positioning to face Republican incumbent Roger Marshall in the general election. Prairie Village and broader Kansas political observers noted Hamilton's national following — a congregation of about 22,000 members — as a potential fundraising and organizational base; he said an 18-city listening tour and consultations with Democratic officials informed his decision, and political analysts this week flagged his entry as increasing competition for Marshall ahead of the Aug. 4 primary.
