Get ready for the attack ads to hit the airwaves, and these won’t be around national candidates. They’ll be around the retention elections for Kansas judges. The judiciary is a big deal in this year’s election.
In the Kansas Supreme Court elections, there is also a battle going on between the conservatives and liberals. Four of the Five Supreme Court Judges up for retention vote are considered Liberals and they expect Kansas conservatives to wage an aggressive media campaign to unseat them. To make it easy, the one conservative up for retention vote is Caleb Stegall. He was appointed by Gov. Sam Brownback. The other four were appointed by Gov. Kathleen Sebeilus.
