US Midterms 2026Background
Sunflower State PAC was a committee that ran television ads against Roger Marshall in the 2020 Kansas Republican Senate primary, which Marshall went on to win. KCUR reported in July 2020 that the group had ties to a Democratic media firm in Virginia. Senate Majority PAC's August 2020 report to the FEC shows it gave the committee $3.55m.
Marshall now faces Democrat Adam Hamilton for re-election. Cook and Sabato moved the race one step towards Democrats in September 2026, and both moved it again in October.
The committee is a Democratic-side example of a group carrying a state's name and funded by a national party Super PAC. In 2026, Republican-funded committees with liberal-sounding names have spent in Democratic primaries.
