From the Marysville Advocate:

The future of the Kansas Democratic Party may be riding with the fortunes of Attorney General Stephen Six, Secretary of State Chris Biggs and State Treasurer Dennis McKinney.

Each are unelected incumbents who were appointed by Democratic governors to fill out the unexpired terms of their predecessors who resigned. The three have fulfilled their duties admirably since taking office, but toil in relative obscurity because these offices do not generally command front-page coverage. Moreover, each is trying to win despite stiff political crosswinds that will make victory difficult.

Much of these Kansas Democrats’ campaign hopes rest on factors largely outside of their control. With the economic recovery stalled and the presidency and Congress controlled by Democrats, Democratic incumbents all over the country are in serious jeopardy.
