Topeka resident Chad Taylor is a candidate for the Kansas U.S. senate seat currently held by Republican Pat Roberts.

Taylor, a Democrat, is the district attorney of Shawnee County.

On Monday, Taylor was campaigning in Hays and western Kansas.

Although the state has not elected a Democratic senator to Congress since 1932, Taylor said Kansans along the campaign trail are telling him they’re “tired of labels and partisan politics”:

Taylor grew up on his family farm in rural Shawnee County near Silver Lake, which he and his wife, Karily, now own.

He said his first priority if elected is campaign finance reform.

More information about Taylor’s campaign is available on his website.
