KS-GOV: Democratic voters weigh Gov. Laura Kelly's endorsement of Kansas senator in gubernatorial primary

OLATHE — Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly took her endorsement of Ethan Corson on the road Tuesday, speaking to a largely undecided crowd at a “Women for Ethan” event in Olathe ahead of the three-way Democratic primary for governor.

“The people of Kansas have put their trust in me to always have their best interest in mind,” Kelly said. “Now I’m asking you and all Kansans, trust me one more time.”

While nearly all attendees Kansas Reflector spoke to were undecided in the August primary, they said the Democratic governor’s backing of Corson gave his campaign weight. June Fischer, from Shawnee, is strongly leaning toward voting for Corson.

“I think she’s been a great governor,” Fischer said. “I respect her, so I respect her endorsement.”
