Skoog Challenges Masterson for Kansas | Topeka News

Overland Park Mayor Curt Skoog is launching a bold bid for Kansas governor, pledging to unite the state around real needs—not partisan politics. With 21 years in local government and a track record of building inclusive communities, Skoog takes aim at Senate President Ty Masterson, accusing him of steering Kansas toward dysfunction and failing to deliver on property tax relief. Skoog’s motivation? A Legislature he sees as gridlocked and unresponsive, plus a Republican primary that doesn’t inspire confidence for a November win. He’s up against Ethan Corson and Cindy Holscher, both respected but lacking the personal connection Skoog believes voters crave. As a sixth-generation Kansan who grew up with GOP values but now sees the party drift, Skoog envisions a Kansas where everyone belongs—where families stay, businesses thrive, and newcomers are welcomed.
