KS-03: Kansas Democrat makes reelection campaign for U.S. House seat official

TOPEKA — U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids of Kansas formally launched a reelection campaign Monday tied to reinforcing the role of Congress in controlling the rising cost of living for consumers and to moderate disruption within the federal government caused by executive branch overreach.

Davids, who has served the eastern Kansas district since elected in 2018, expects primary and general election challenges. Fairway Democrat Sarah Preu and Republican Chase LaPorte of Mission also have filed for the 3rd District seat in Congress.

“There are a lot of people so dissatisfied with the chaos they see coming out of Washington. I hope to continue to serve the Kansas 3rd and be a voice of reason, get stuff done and try to do everything possible to make life more manageable, less chaotic and make sure we’re actually brining down costs,” Davids said during a news conference after filing in the Kansas Secretary of State’s Office.

She pointed to the economic pinch point of rising fuel prices in wake of President Donald Trump’s war with Iran. She said it would be important for the U.S. House to do its part to address decisions of Republicans to diminish health coverage, weaken public education and deploy tariffs harmful to the agriculture sector.
