A roundup of endorsements from across the state
On the governor's race:
Sebelius and her running mate, Mark Parkinson, are committed to strong, well-funded schools and universities. They're also a strong team to encourage new industries based on alternative fuel sources.
Kathleen Sebelius wins our endorsement for the balanced professionalism she has demonstrated as governor, the attention-getting ambassador she has been for the state, and the good goals she has set for a second term. Four years after voters in this Republican-dominated state put their trust in a Democrat, Sebelius obviously knows and loves both the job and Kansas.
The Kansas City Star
(Kathleen Sebelius) is an able, tough politician and is quick to claim credit for numerous healthy and sound actions, policies and accomplishments in Kansas. The fact is, however, many of these highly touted accomplishments would not have been achieved without the massive help of the Republican controlled Kansas Senate and House.
The Wichita Eagle
Lawrence Journal-World
The point is that although it's unclear exactly how much progress Kansas has made under Sebelius, there are obvious signs the state has moved forward. And we think Sebelius helped steer it in the right direction.
On the Attorney General's race:
The Topeka Capital-Journal
The Kansas City Star
In sharp contrast to Kline — who has used the attorney general's office to promote a controversial personal agenda — Morrison would make sure common sense and good legal principles dictate his decisions. He's operated that way for 17 years as Johnson County's district attorney.
Morrison, a tough-as-nails veteran prosecutor, is one of the most impressive A.G. candidates to come along in years. Moreover, he inspires trust that he will return sound judgment and commonsense priorities to the state's top law-enforcement office — qualities too often lacking under Attorney General Phill Kline.
It should be a question of whether Kline has done a good, effective job as attorney general or whether Morrison, who compiled a good record as Johnson County's district attorney, could do a better job. Unfortunately, it's hard to scrape through all the mud being slung to get to basics. Wipe off the candidate you prefer and mark your ballot for him.
The Wichita Eagle
Lawrence Journal-World
Kline has always been a passionate public servant, and he's been especially effective at turning his energy toward beefing up laws to protect children and the elderly while also working to stiffen penalties for criminal offenders.
The Kansas City Star
Kansans in the 2nd U.S. House District who want to see significant changes in Washington have a logical choice: Nancy Boyda, an outspoken advocate for reform at home and wiser policies abroad.
The Topeka Capital-Journal
(We) believe it is important President Bush have the support for his entire program, both domestic and foreign. For this reason, we believe it is best for Kansas, as well as for the entire country, to have Rep. Jim Ryun in Washington to support Bush's plans for the economy, taxes, job creation, national security and judicial appointments, as well as his policy to fight the growth of terrorism.
On the 2nd Congressional District
The Togeka Capital-Journal
If you don't think Ryun has helped Topeka and northeast Kansas, just look around. He supported measures providing funding to replace the Topeka Boulevard Bridge, renovate the Great Overland Station and rehabilitate the hangar of the 190th Air Refueling Wing of the Kansas National Guard at Forbes Field, to name a few projects.
Lawrence Journal-World
On the 3rd Congressional District
If only the House had more representatives like Dennis Moore, the thoughtful lawmaker who has represented the 3rd District of Kansas so well for the past eight years.
