KS-4: The Name Game

Many incumbent House members are facing primary opponents this year, but none have Kansas Rep. Ron Estes’ (R-Wichita) problem.  Mr. Estes’ lone Republican nomination foe actually shares his name.  To mitigate the confusion, election authorities announced this week that they are allowing Congressman Estes to appear on the August 7th primary ballot as “Rep. Ron Estes.”  The secondary Mr. Estes will be listed as “Ron M. Estes.”
