I've seen a lot of people asking for this information, so I'm stickying it so more people can find it.
Here are some helpful websites to research candidates, donations, election information, websites, polling locations, etc.:
| Website Link | Website Information |
|---|---|
| www.ballotpedia.org | Gives candidates' bio, current/past elections, opponents, campaign themes, finance summary (past elections), website themes, overviews, etc. |
| www.opensecrets.org | Covers past elections and donors, but can be useful for seeing past issues for current candidates |
| www.commoncause.org/find-your-representative | Find your districts' candidates with your address |
| www.pluralpolicy.com/open | find your current legislators |
| www.vote411.org/kansas | election/voting information, deadlines, polling place, upcoming debates, district races built around your address. Shows each candidate by race and party affiliation (Dem/GOP/All candidates for political office, etc). Vote411 is run by the League of Women Voters, so it's super ultra legit. |
| www.bluevoterguide.org/state/kansas | Lists each candidate, provides official endorsements, recommendations, positions, etc. |
| www.sos.ks.gov/elections/county_election_officers.aspx | Official List of Kansas Secretary of State County Election Offices |
| www.fec.gov/data/elections/?cycle=2026&state=KS | Lists Finance Campaign Data on the Federal Election Commission website. Gives information on reviews, donations, loans, individual/party contributions, disbursements, PACs, statistics, disclosure reports, etc. |
Many Kansas county party offices also provide information for their own candidates and local referendums.
One trick is that groups like Americans for Prosperity and similar rightwing organizations will publish their own "scorecards" for each candidate along with their positions and leanings. Generally, the higher the score, the more conservative they tend to be. The lower the score, the more liberal.
Also many candidates have youtube videos and shorts floating around as well - Townhalls, speeches, quick little monologues, discussion points, ads, etc. That can also be helpful in hearing what they say directly.

My Olathe voting station was doing brisk business today. More foot traffic than normal. Great to see it

Has anyone else been seeing an anti-Marshall ad that is just an AI song with lyrics about getting rid of Roger Marshall?
Regardless of the candidate, an AI slop song in a political ad is about as annoying and unwatchable as advertising gets.

Early voting starts today, get it done! I just did, there were no lines but a lot of people going in and out. I hope everyone else is as mad at the current administration as we are.

If I’m a victim of domestic violence, and because of the toll that has taken on me, I haven’t been able to meet the minimum 20 hours of work requirements to receive childcare assistance. Is there a waiver for domestic violence? I know there’s a waiver for TANF for domestic violence, but I haven’t found one regarding childcare assistance.

From the New York Times "President Trump signed an executive order on Friday night exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month, offering an economic lifeline to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin"
It's almost seems like Trump is a Russian asset. I hope this is discussed at his rally in Park City, Ks

Visit this link for a very good and easy to understand explanation of the amendment. Spread it around to everyone you know. Kansas voters could be in big trouble if this passes.

I've lived all my life in either Allen county or Crawford county. Often the sidewalks in Pittsburg and Iola are there, just covered up by decades of overgrowth. I'd imagine it's the same in a lot of Kansas towns.
Anyway, I thought it was unfortunate and semi-funny at the same time. Mods feel free to remove if you think this is in poor taste. 🤷♂️
edit: I guess I should add the links. The KOAM story doesn't say why the person was walking down the road.

Campaign rally yesterday in Newton. These Kansans are so done with midwestern nice 😆
This is fucking ridiculous. Why does this shitty state & country get to track everyone everywhere? I want this shit tore down and whoever put it up should be blacklisted from ever participating in society.
This state & the monsters that run it suck ass.
