Former Kansas governor Jeff Colyer has formally launched his campaign for the Republican nomination for the governor’s office in next year’s elections.
Colyer made the announcement Monday in Topeka, and got an endorsement from Kansas Senator Roger Marshall, who also spoke at the event.
Colyer said he is the conservative candidate in the race, and he will work for pro-family, pro-conservative and pro-Constitution values. He said “We must get the Kansas economy back on track, eliminate unemployment fraud impacting ten of thousands of Kansans, and most importantly, we must have a Governor that respects the freedoms provided to citizens in The Constitution, that won’t shutdown our way of life and impose never-ending restrictions on our small businesses similar to that of California and New York.”
Colyer served as governor from January, 2018 to January, 2019 after Sam Brownback stepped down to take a position in Washington, D.C.
