Snyder planning to win 45th District
By DAN TORCHIA Staff Reporter
Kent Synder
Kent Snyder began his campaign Monday with little fanfare. There were no hot lights or cameras that one might expect with a declaration of candidacy. But the fact is, he was mostly a family and friends, watched as he read a short but firm announcement.
So when voters in the 45th district see a young cherubic face appear at their door, they should not be surprised when Snyder, 21, tells them he is a candidate for the Kansas House of Representatives.
He is serious and he plans to win.
He is serious and he plans to win.
“It’s going to be tough, no doubt,
he said the day after his
announcement. “We are going to
hive to win.”
Snyder, an area reactor and part-time KU student, is challenging Democratic incumbent John Solbach, who is completing his first term. But first he must beat Glenn McGee, former director of August 5 McGleigh, 63, former director of the physics and astronomy lab at KU, announced his candidacy in April.
THE RACE IN THE 45th district could prove to be one of the more exciting legislative races in the county. John Lungsturm, head of the Republican McGoule, Douglas county, said another McGoule on Snyder could win in the fall election.
"Either one of them would serve excellently," Lungsturm said. "The district could easily be won by a Republican."

"By itself, age is not a factor," he said. "It is not so much age as what kind of representative the candidate will be."
"The party leaders always say that the Republican Party intends to be a party of youth," Snyer said. "We are going to see if they really mean it."
Snyder faces several obstacles. He must first convince Republican voters that he—not McGonagle—can beat Soacha. But McGonagle has been called out repeatedly, better known, since he has been connected with the University for 23 years.
Even if Snyder wins the primary, he still must convince voters, Republican and Democrat alike, that he can do a better job than Solbach. Solbach thinks he can do it. He said Solbach's voting did not reflect the wishes of the people.
"It seemed like he went out and talked to people during the campaign and then went to Topeka and quit doing it," he said.
Solbach disagrees with both statements.
SNYDER ALSO said Solbach is against a state spending bill, something he said voters have indicated they wanted. And the Landlord Tenant Act, which Solbach is best known for, is Solbach's control over the landlords of Lawrence," he said.
"We voted on several state spending
Solbach said the purpose of the Landford-tenant Act is to protect dutiful landlords against frivolous landslides while providing a meaningful remedy for tenants when a landlord neglected his property.
A VERSION of the bill died in the last session of the legislature. This summer an interim committee study of the bill may be moved to see if a workable bill can be devised.
"The problem with the bill is that it is complex," Solbach said. "It may not be workable."
Solbach was not officially announced his candidacy for re-election. He may do so next week, he said. But, instead of going the normal course, and paying the $50 filing fee, he is gathering signatures from voters.
"I think they want me to run again, so I will," he said.
All three candidates are using the same strategy of going out and talking to the voters. Snyder said it was the time that he knew what the people were concerned about.
"A representative needs to be open enough to help and be concerned," he said. "Different issues will come and go as a representative must always listen."
Snyder's main concern is "making ends meet," which he said is the main issue of the campaign. He said that the

TAXES ARE directly connected with making ends meet, he said. Snyder a member of the National Taxpayers Union, which advocates a "common sense approach to taxes," is in favor of the sales tax on food purchases.
legislature had to be financially responsible every day.
Solbach also agreed with the repeal of the tax, and voted for it when it came up in the last session.
"It is one of our most regressive
titles," he said. "If we are going to remove a tax, that is where we should look first."
Why should people be taxed on something as basic as food?" he said. "People could save a lot of money in a restaurant if did not have to pay the extra money."
lids during the session," he said. "I voted for some, and against some. I voted against the spending lids that would hurt this community."
Taxes and spending lads aside, a question voters have to decide is, whether Solbach has done a good enough job to warrant another term. Another question is can someone else do better.
"The voters are going to have to decide who is the best man for the job," Solbach said. "It is going to be a challenge. I'm looking forward to it."
"We have the desire and the en-
thusiasm," Snyder said. "We are going to have to strike an imaginative chord with the voters."
Efforts to contact McGonigle were unsuccessful.
