Vice President Pence to campaign for Kobach in Wichita, GOP official says

Vice President Mike Pence is coming to Wichita next week to campaign for Republican gubernatorial candidate Kris Kobach.

Kansas state Rep. J.R. Claeys, Kobach’s campaign manager, said in a tweet that Pence is coming to Wichita on Oct. 18 to campaign for Kobach, the secretary of state.

The Associated Press reported that Pence will also hold a private fundraiser in the 2nd Congressional District to support Republican congressional candidate Steve Watkins. Tickets for the fundraiser will start at $250, the AP reported.

Pence’s visit will come less than two weeks after President Donald Trump stumped for Kobach and Watkins in Topeka.

Donald Trump Jr. came to Wichita in July to campaign for Kobach.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
