Running for governor isn’t for the faint of heart or the underfunded. It takes stamina, strategy, staff, travel, door-knocking, message discipline, and the ability to lead a team through nonstop demands. The price tag is steep. The pressure is real. That’s why the Kansas GOP plays a critical role. We don’t pick candidates, but we do fight to keep Kansas competitive. We build the voter file, train volunteers, support grassroots organizing, get out the vote, and keep Democrats on defense every step of the way. If we want to win in 2026, we have to start preparing now. Infrastructure, data, communications, and turnout—none

Nominate a Republican for the Boyd Volunteer of the Year Award The Kansas GOP Awards Committee knows that volunteers are the backbone of the Republican Party but often go unrecognized. Now, YOU can help show our appreciation by nominating an outstanding advocate and volunteer for the Huck Boyd Award. The KSGOP will award the Huck Boyd Award for the years 2024 and 2025 at the winter convention next January. The Huck Boyd Award is named for the former 1960 and 1964 gubernatorial candidate who also served as the Kansas Republican National Committeeman for 20 years until his death in 1987.
