“From years of association with Dr. Colyer I know very well how committed he is to serving the people of Kansas and growing our state,” said Baccus. “I look forward to helping him continue that service by winning the 2018 gubernatorial election. He is the right person to continue leading our great state forward.”

“We could not have asked for a stronger, more qualified individual to join our campaign for Governor,” said Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer, M.D., “Steve knows Kansas and its people, and cares about our state’s success and growth as much as I do. He will be my trusted advocate and advisor as he travels the state listening to the concerns of Kansans and communicating regularly with me on how I can best serve them as their Governor.”
“I have worked with Steve for many years to advocate for Kansas’ rural and agricultural communities. I have complete confidence that he will be a great partner and advisor for Governor Colyer and I, as we travel the state listening to Kansans concerns and working on the issues that matter most to them,” said Lt. Governor Tracey Mann, “Steve will help us get that message across and show Kansans that Governor Colyer is the right choice to lead Kansas in to the future.”
