The 2026 Kansas governor’s race is already shaping up to be one of the most important primaries in our state’s recent history. Tell me who you support - POLL
Colyer has the statewide name recognition needed to win. He also has Trump’s endorsement. He has the black mark of signing the huge tax increase. If he continues to show courage, perhaps he’s the better Governor.
Masterson definitely has the courage and convictions. He lacks statewide name recognition. I recall when current Senate VP Tim Shallenburger ran for Governor (’94?). He had been Speaker, but no one in the population centers knew who he was. That’s kind of the story with legislative leaders running for Governor.
