WICHITA, Kan. — Significant financial contributions from national Democrats are targeting Kansas to support Adam Hamilton’s campaign. Despite Hamilton’s arguments against his allegiance to top Democratic leaders in Washington, D.C., millions are being allocated to bolster his candidacy.
A substantial portion of this funding comes from the Senate Majority PAC, a super PAC linked to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. Hamilton has publicly stated he would not back Schumer as the Democratic leader if he succeeds in November’s election.
Senator Roger Marshall, R-Kan., Hamilton’s opponent, questioned the implications of receiving between $30 to $40 million tied to Schumer’s influence, casting doubt on Hamilton’s ability to remain independent.
“Regardless of what he says, if we lose this seat, then it’s going to give the Senate control to the Democrats,” Marshall told Fox News Digital.
The senator expressed concern over the potential Democratic control of the Senate and urged Hamilton to renounce support from Schumer-aligned money.
Federal election laws stipulate that candidates cannot accept outside funding from groups like the Senate Majority PAC directly, as per the Federal Election Commission. Yet, the Schumer-associated group has allocated $5 million for advertising in Kansas, signaling a strong push to capture the seat.
Hamilton’s team responded by highlighting the financial contrast between the campaigns. Hamilton’s fundraising has far exceeded Marshall’s, with $14 million raised compared to Marshall’s $6 million, based on filings from the Federal Election Commission.
A spokesperson for Hamilton, Tyson Brody, emphasized his pursuit of new leadership and commitment to prioritizing Kansas interests over Washington’s.
Overall, $38 million is projected to be spent by national Democrats and their affiliates, including Hamilton’s campaign, as reported by AdImpact. By contrast, national Republicans, along with Marshall’s campaign, are investing $32 million in the race.
Marshal tried to associate Hamilton with Schumer in their latest debate, presenting Hamilton as closely tied to national Democratic figures.
In response, Hamilton reiterated his stance, confirming he would not support Schumer as majority leader.
