Federal

U.S. Senate

Election date: Tuesday, November 3, 2026
Jurisdiction: State of Kansas

Kansas gets only two U.S. senators, and this seat is on the ballot in November 2026. Incumbent Roger Marshall is running again, while Democratic challengers now include Damon Anderson, Jason Hart, Kevin Latz, Patrick Schmidt, Christy Cauble Davis, Sandy Spidel Neumann, Erik Murray, Anne Parelkar, Michael Soetaert, Noah Taylor, and Adam Hamilton. David C. Graham was added from the Kansas SOS general-election list as a Libertarian candidate. Chase LaPorte remains flagged because federal filing evidence exists, but his profile notes conflicting House/Senate records that require final-list recheck.

Why it matters

U.S. senators vote on judges, war powers, federal spending, farm policy, healthcare, and the national laws that affect Kansas every day. This race shapes who speaks for the entire state in Washington.

Office context

What does this job actually do?

A U.S. Senator is one of two people who represent your entire state in Washington, D.C. They serve six-year terms and vote on every federal law, confirm or reject Supreme Court justices and cabinet members, approve treaties, and control the federal budget. If you have a problem with Social Security, Medicare, veterans' benefits, farm subsidies, or any federal program, your senator's office is who you call.
