Trump appointee announces run for Congress in Kansas
Former President Trump-appointee Jeff Kahrs today announced he will seek the Republican nomination for U.S. Congress in Kansas's second congressional district.
"I want my children to inherit the same free and prosperous country that my parents left to my generation, but we have work to do to make that a reality. Our nation is in peril. We have an open border, staggering debt, runaway inflation and a culture that celebrates sexual deviance and destruction of the family. We need a Congressman who will love their neighbors enough to take the tough votes necessary to protect the future of Kansas and our nation. That's why I'm running for Congress," Jeff Kahrs said.
Kansas Solicitor General
Anthony Powell
“I've had the privilege of knowing Jeff for over 30 years since we were in law school. I can tell you he will make an outstanding Congressman. He knows Congress and is committed to the America First agenda - securing our borders, bringing down inflation, pushing back against the radical culture war being waged against us, and cleaning up the swamp."
