Beyond his popularity in the “Big First,” Rep. Jerry Moran, R-Hays, would have another plus should he follow through on his reported interest in running in 2010 for the Senate seat to be vacated by Sen. Sam Brownback: Moran’s $2.1 million in campaign cash, more than $1 million of it raised this election cycle. By contrast, Moran’s November opponent, Democrat James Bordonaro of Emporia, reported raising just $70 for his campaign account, which has a negative balance.

Jerry Moran decided early on that his career field was going to be politics. I remember visiting with him when he visited our Johnson County Republican office while he was still a student at K.U., perhaps a law student. He has worked hard representing by far the largest IN AREA congressional district in Kansas. From the Hays vicinity, Congressman Moran has been a stong voice in agriculture.
I say, go for it Jerry. I don’t see anyone else on the horizon who can compete with your qualifications, Democrat or Republican. Too bad we have to wait two years.
KANSAS WILL BE WELL SERVED.
Indeed, Senator Moran has a nice ring to it.
Moran votes with the Bush administration nearly all the time. This is what is the matter with Kansas. How you can look at Moran’s voting record and adore him unless you’re a 28%er.
I think 90% of the 28%ers must live in Kansas.
My goodness, a Republican congressman who votes with his party and President most of the time. How shocking. Compare Moran’s record with Boyda and Moore and i’ll bet you he has no more partisan voting record than they do. Go Jerry
The only Repub I ever voted for was Dole. I could see myself voting for Moran. I am unsure of his position on abortion and gay rights. I think he is a good man.
If you don’t know his position on gay rights and abortion then you shouldn’t be voting because you probably don’t know his position on anything else either.
Yes it is shocking, because sometimes you’ve got to do what is right vs what your party wants. And most of the time the right thing is NOT what the republican party wants.
They spout off about personal freedom and responsibility…unless that happens to be against what they interpret their god and bible wants..unless that has to do with money then you can be as greedy as you wanna be.
Cons are not nice people.
We have Senators now that vote with party and president, over State interest, what’s so commendable about that?
Same ol, same ol.
Political_mama you are one twisted individual. Saying all Conservatives are not nice people makes me believe you are not a nice person. Keep on living in your bubble. Nobody works harder as a Congressman than Moran does. He is a great person that always puts Kansas first. Even LIBERAL KU political science professor Bird Loomis said he had a great deal of respect for Moran and the way he represents his constituents. Maybe you should do some research before you go running your mouth.
“I am unsure of his position on abortion and gay rights.”
oh for god’s sake…
He’s a catholic from hays.
WTF do you THINK his “positions” are on choice and gay rights?
BIG eye roll.
And why is it that the better sebelius does politically, the more the democratic party suffers in western Kansas?
Could it be… like governor “leadership”s chief of staff told me, “there just arent enough votes out there to matter”?
I wonder how that whine will play when and if she ever has the courage to run against Jerry. Or when his house seat is up for grabs?
I guess the democrats in Kansas dont care about ALL the seats their party could win?
Hell, Virginia Beemer and Ralph Ostmeyrer dont even have a democrat running against them as a token. And the guy running against Moran as raised seventy bucks?
hehehehehehehehehheheheheheheeheheheehhehhehe!
Nice job Tim Peterson….
Is that you, Phill Kline? I am well versed in the votes that my reps make, and I’m disappointed almost consistently with Moran- occassionally he will suprise me, but rarely. “KU political science professor Bird Loomis said he had a great deal of respect for Moran and the way he represents his constituents”… he does represent HIS constituents…he’s not the KU guy’s representative.
Seems like the “Big First” generates a lot of Senators compared to the other three districts.
Hello from his position. We started off on Wednesday night at his house seat. Then we walked along your bubble a bit then headed back to Jerry home.
