The election for the U.S. House seat in Kansas's 2nd District is underway, with less than a month remaining. Republican incumbent Derek Schmidt aligns with President Donald Trump and has raised nearly $1.5 million in campaign donations. His campaign focuses on the need for fiscal discipline while advocating for Kansas' fair share of federal resources. Schmidt faces Democratic challenger Don Coover, who focuses on the affordability of housing, food, and health care. Libertarian candidate John Hauer is also on the ballot, campaigning for a smaller federal government.
