Adam Hamilton launches campaign for Democratic Senate nomination in Kansas.

Adam Hamilton, pastor of the nation's largest United Methodist Church, has launched a campaign for the Democratic nomination in Kansas's U.S. Senate race, challenging incumbent Republican Senator Roger Marshall. A fifth-generation Kansan and former pastor of a prominent Kansas City megachurch, Hamilton is seeking to capitalize on his broad community influence in a state that has not elected a Democrat to the Senate since 1932. His candidacy, which faces several other Democratic opponents, is viewed as a potential shift in the traditionally Republican state.
