Polarizing Trump ally Kobach launches bid for Kansas AG April 29, 2021 at 5:06 pm
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Polarizing conservative Kris Kobach launched a campaign Thursday for Kansas attorney general, attempting a political comeback in 2022 after losing nationally watched races for governor and U.S. Senate.
Kobach, a former Kansas secretary of state, built his political brand by advocating restrictive immigration policies and tough voter identification laws, including a prove-your-citizenship requirement for Kansas voters struck down by a federal appeals court last year. He also was the first prominent Kansas elected official to endorse Donald Trump for president in 2016 and was vice chair of a short-lived Trump commission on voter fraud.

Former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who became infamous for his aggressive anti-immigration and voter suppression efforts, is reportedly planning to make yet another bid for office after his gubernatorial and Senate campaigns flopped.
The Kansas City Star reports that Kobach has submitted a campaign filing for attorney general. He is also expected to make a “special announcement” on Thursday afternoon.
