Kansas Farm Bureau announced its endorsement of Senator Jerry Moran for re-election to the U. S. Senate. The formal endorsements came from Kansas Farm Bureau’s Political Action Committee, which is comprised of active farmer and rancher members elected by their peers, from 10 geographic districts. The endorsement process began earlier this year with individual recommendations from the autonomous County Farm Bureau organizations. Through this grassroots process, each of the State’s 105 Counties had the opportunity to provide feedback to vote and Moran was the overwhelming choice of members. They also endorsed First District Representative Tracey Mann, Second District Rep Jake Laturner and Fourth District Rep Ron Estes.
Farm Bureau President, Rich Felts, says Senator Moran has been a steadfast supporter of Kansas agriculture and the rural way of life and provides a vital voice in the Senate, where he’s proven essential at advocating for crop insurance, pushing back against bureaucratic rulemaking and fighting against the end of stepped-up basis, which would have devastated transition planning for family farms and ranchers.
