Kris Kobach has appointed a treasurer for a run for Kansas attorney general, and he made his candidacy official with an announcement in Wichita.
Kobach is making another attempt at a political comeback after losing races for governor and U.S. Senate. Kobach’s appointment of a treasurer is necessary under Kansas law for him to raise money for a 2022 campaign, and he did it late Wednesday. He announced his campaign Thursday afternoon.
Kobach is a former Kansas secretary of state known nationally for advocating restrictive immigration policies and tough voter identification laws. He also was the first prominent Kansas elected official to endorse President Donald Trump in 2016.
