State Sen. Dick Kelsey has picked up a notable endorsement from former presidential contender Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Kelsey, R-Goddard, has tossed his hat in the ring for the 4th Congressional District. The seat’s current occupant, U.S. Rep. Todd Tiahrt, R-Goddard, is running for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., who plans to run for governor.
