Libertarians have two candidates for Kansas governor — but no primary - KansasCity.com - Dave Helling, Kansas City Star:
January 2, 2014 - "The first election contest of the 2014 Kansas governor’s race ... won’t involve Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, or his likely Democratic opponent, Paul Davis.
"Instead, two Libertarians — Keen Umbehr and Tresa McAlhaney — will face off April 26 in Wichita. There, at a state convention, roughly 150 registered Libertarians will pick a nominee for governor.
"If Umbehr and McAlhaney were Republicans or Democrats, the contested nomination would be decided by secret ballot, in August, in a primary. But because Libertarians are not classified as a major party under Kansas law, they are prohibited from picking their candidate by election.
"At the same time, Brownback and Davis — who are likely to run unopposed for their nominations — will be on the August ballot, in an election paid for by taxpayers."
