Pastor vs Senator in Kansas | Tulsa News

A megachurch pastor and first-time candidate, Adam Hamilton, is making waves as the Democratic nominee for Kansas Senate — a seat no Democrat has won in a century. With his massive United Methodist church following and a message of unity, he’s hoping to unseat GOP incumbent Roger Marshall. But his pastoral roots are both his strength and his target: conservatives are attacking him for “being too woke” or even calling him a heretic, while Hamilton fires back with wit and faith. He plans to keep preaching if elected — without using his office for evangelism — and is trying to bridge divides across Kansas’s politically split congregation. As Marshall leans into rural conservatism and barnyard jabs, this race could rewrite political history — and maybe even redefine what it means to be a minister in public office.
