GrOPers throwing $92k at ruby red K4 House seat in Kansas (Pompeo's)
http://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/republicans-kansas-special-election-2017-236961The NRCC is pouring money into a last-minute TV ad buy in Kansas ahead of a Tuesday special election, seeking to pump up Republican enthusiasm and turnout in a district that President Donald Trump carried by 27 percentage points just a few months ago.
The late independent expenditure seeks to boost Republican state Treasurer Ron Estes, who is running to replace CIA Director Mike Pompeo in Kansas' 4th District. The district has not been on the radar of most national groups and activists, which have focused on the upcoming special election in Georgia as a more competitive opportunity. But Kansas Republicans are fretting that Estes' margin is closer than expected in his race against Democrat James Thompson, an attorney.
“Kansas should not be in play, but Kansas is in play," said one Kansas Republican consultant.
The ad plays to the GOP's base ahead of the expected low-turnout special election, attacking Thompson's positions on abortion.
