Everybody counts if they'll hold that oath. This page fills in as we find the real, sourced answer — never with a guess. A blank means we haven't found it yet, not that it doesn't matter.
The idea behind this page, in the words that started it:
"Everybody counts in this site if they will hold that Oath of Office — what if somebody did not know they could vote for them because I want it to show we the people what we can do when we can see?"
So this page doesn't tell you who to vote for. It shows you who's actually running, what they've actually said and filed, and the same numbers for everyone in the race — side by side, sourced, no label on top of it. You draw the conclusion. We just make sure you can see it.
Real, fixed dates from Kansas's own election authority — not a reminder we made up, a countdown against the actual deadline. Counting down in your own device's clock, local time.
Source: Kansas Secretary of State, Important Election Dates. State law sets a 7am–7pm floor and lets counties open as early as 6am or close as late as 8pm, as long as polls stay open at least 12 hours — check with your own county if you're near the edges of that window.
Five official, government-run links. Not us, not a party, not a PAC — the actual agencies that run elections.
Six boxes. Check them as you actually do them — not as a promise, a record. Nothing here is saved on our end; the whole checklist lives in the link itself, so it only goes where you send it.
Check a few boxes, then copy the link — the checked state travels with the URL itself, so pasting it to someone else, or bookmarking it, brings the same boxes back checked. The download is a plain text file, nothing sent anywhere.
An incumbent seeking a second term, against the winner of a crowded field.
Every field below is sourced. A blank stays a blank until we find the real number.
| Candidate | Party | Current / former office | August 4, 2026 primary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roger Marshall Incumbent |
Republican | U.S. Senator (2021–present) | Won nomination, 79.9% (267,972 votes) |
| Adam Hamilton | Democratic | Pastor | Won nomination, 34.8%, over a field of at least nine candidates |
| Democrats have not won a U.S. Senate election in Kansas since 1932. That's a fact about the state's recent voting history, not a prediction about November. | |||
| Campaign money for this Senate race — not yet pulled from this cycle's filings. Logged, not built yet. | |||

A term-limited incumbent's seat, and two of the most crowded primaries on any page in this series.
Gov. Laura Kelly (D) is term-limited and cannot seek a third consecutive term — the same office-vacancy mechanism already covered on California's and Oregon's homework pages, playing out a third way here. Seven Republicans and three Democrats filed for the open seat.
Every field below is sourced. A blank stays a blank until we find the real number.
| Candidate | Party | Current / former office | Running mate | August 4, 2026 primary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ty Masterson | Republican | Kansas Senate President | Jeff Klemp | Won nomination, 43.2% (147,213 votes) |
| Cindy Holscher | Democratic | Kansas State Senator | KC Ohaebosim | Won nomination, 48.6% (108,478 votes) |
| Masterson's field was the largest on this whole site's homework series so far: six other Republicans split the remaining 56.8% of the vote, including sitting Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab (10.9%). Holscher's own primary wasn't a formality either — Ethan Corson took 38.8% (86,623 votes), a real contest for the nomination. | ||||

Still blank, on purpose: every dollar figure for both races above. Not built yet. Check back, or if you find it first with a source, that's homework too.
In the meantime: this site already tracks real, sourced money for Kansas's federal delegation currently in office — a different set of people than the 2026 nominees above, so the two aren't mixed together here.

Beta. Nine states built so far. Every number here is dated and linked to where it came from. A blank means we haven't found the real answer yet — we don't fill it with a guess to make the page look finished.
