Politico: “Gov. Laura Kelly’s playbook is in some ways the antithesis of the national political moment: Avoid culture war fights, focus on local economic issues, and spend a lot of time talking to the wheat and soybean farmers you know mostly won’t vote for you.”
“In a break from many other Democrats last year, Kelly did not emphasize abortion rights during her campaign.”
