Pastor Runs for Senate | Tulsa News

Kansas megachurch pastor Adam Hamilton is aiming to make history by potentially becoming the next U.S. Senator while continuing to preach at his 25,000-member congregation—following in the footsteps of Georgia’s Raphael Warnock, who successfully balances Senate duties with weekly sermons. Hamilton plans to preach 12-18 times a year if elected, a rare feat in the Senate where few ordained ministers have attempted such a dual role. While clergy in Congress are more common in the House—think Adam Clayton Powell Jr. or Emanuel Cleaver—Protestant clergy dominate, with Catholics like Robert Drinan being exceptions. The first Speaker of the House and the first African American in Congress were also ministers, highlighting faith’s enduring role in American politics as clergy candidates continue to run for office this year.
