2014 U.S. House Elections

Voters in Kansas elected Pat Roberts (R) to the U.S. Senate in the election on November 4, 2014. Roberts, the incumbent who was first elected in 1996, defeated challengers Greg Orman (I) and Randall Batson (L) in the general election.

Previous polling and endorsements showed Greg Orman gaining popularity within a relatively short time frame. In October, NBC News/Marist polls found that Orman took a resounding ten point lead. Orman led with 48 percent among likely voters while Roberts stood at 38 percent.

Due to his relative unpopularity, Roberts had Senators Ted Cruz and Tom Coburn assist him in a bus campaign tour. After the tour, Roberts' poll numbers improved in mid-October, in which Public Policy Polling showed a narrow lead for Orman at 44-41.

Chad Taylor (D) was set to be on the ballot in the general election but declared his withdrawal from the race. Roberts was previously favored in the August polls to win the re-election until Taylor withdrew. Taylor's withdrawal helped Orman, the Independent candidate, surge in the polls and threatened to unseat Robert from his position. The withdrawal of Taylor also made Kansas one of two states that saw no Democrat on the Senate election ballot. Though no Democrat was on the ballot, there was wide speculation that Orman would caucus with the Democrats if elected.

Roberts faced a primary challenge from Milton Wolf, D.J. Smith and Alvin Zahnter. Wolf, a tea party candidate and physician, ran as a more conservative alternative to Roberts who was re-elected with 60 percent of the vote in 2008.

Roberts was criticized after it was revealed that he did not own a home in Kansas. Many compared the situation to that of former Sen. Richard Lugar, who lost a 2012 Senate primary after a similar residency controversy. Unlike Lugar, Roberts was able to win the nomination in the primary.

Democrat Chad Taylor withdrew from the race on September 3, 2014. Despite a ruling from Secretary of State Kris Kobach that would have kept Taylor on the ballot, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled on September 19, 2014, that Taylor would be removed from the ballot. After the ruling, Kobach said that Democrats were legally required to nominate a replacement candidate for Taylor by September 26. A lawsuit was filed by Democratic voter David Orel to force Democrats to nominate a replacement. However, the lawsuit was sent to a lower court.

Primary: A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Kansas utilizes a semi-closed primary process, in which previously unaffiliated voters can participate in the partisan primary of their choice (a voter who is already affiliated with a party can only vote in that party's primary).

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Voter registration: To vote in the primary, voters had to register by June 15, 2014. For the general election, the voter registration deadline was October 14, 2014.

Race background

Early predictions for Pat Roberts' (R) run for re-election said that it was unlikely he would face a serious challenge in the general election in 2014. He entered the campaign with $886,694 cash on hand, slightly more than he had at the outset of his 2008 campaign for re-election.

If Roberts would have changed his mind about re-election, there was no shortage of potential Republican nominees, from both the congressional delegation and statewide offices.

In September 2013, reports circulated that Barack Obama’s second cousin once removed, Milton Wolf, was laying the groundwork for a potential Republican primary challenge against Pat Roberts. Wolf gauged support and reportedly sent an email to GOP activists in August 2013 asking them to get in touch if they want more senators like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and Rand Paul before formally announcing his candidacy. Roberts defeated Wolf in the Republican primary by roughly 7 percent.

Democratic primary winner Chad Taylor dropped out of the race on September 3, 2014. However, due to legal restrictions, the Kansas Secretary of State ordered his name to still appear on the ballot due to the face that he did not provide a reason that he would be unable to perform the job if elected, a requirement of Kansas law. Taylor subsequently filed an appeal and the decision was overturned, thus removing him from the November ballot. Following the ruling, the Secretary of State said that Democrats were required to nominate a replacement candidate by September 26. Additionally, a lawsuit was filed by Democratic voter David Orel to force Democrats to nominate a replacement. However, the lawsuit was sent to a lower court. This delayed the case until the ballots were printed, effectively making it so no Democratic candidate appeared on the ballot.

Independent Greg Orman surged in popularity in the weeks leading up to the election. Chad Reeves, a Kansas Democratic operative, said "What most Democrats know is that Orman would be better than Pat Roberts, and we want Roberts out. We wanted to win, this is the year to win, and Chad Taylor couldn’t be that candidate."

Media

Pat Roberts

Roberts had faced issues with Orman surging above him in the polls. Roberts and his allies countered through garnered support of Republicans and Super PACs. This led to the spending of millions of dollars on pro-Roberts and anti-Orman advertisements within the span of a few weeks. Roberts became more competitive in the polls and ultimately defeated Orman.

Greg Orman

Independent candidate Greg Orman launched statewide television and radio ads on July 10, 2014, suggesting both major political parties were responsible for dysfunction in Washington.

Leading up to the election, Orman was noticeably silent on the state airwaves. Unlike Roberts, who was trying to publicly show he maintained his state roots, Orman had not spent significant amounts of time or money running campaign ads or making public appearances.

Orman's campaign mainly focused on social media strategies, such as gathering followers on Twitter. Many political analysts believe that Orman's limited public appearances could have been to further present himself as the opposite of a career politician who was disinterested in partisan politics.

Billionaires for Orman

Roberts had reemerged as a popular candidate at the polls as mid-October pollsters showed him holding steady at within two points of Orman or leading by a slim margin. Roberts' campaign and Republicans poured large sums of money into the race in early Octobe. In that time period, Orman's campaign was only able to reserve $1.3 million worth of airtime while Roberts and his allies reserved airtime amounting close to $3.3 million. In response to the turn of events, various billionaires, such as Peter Ackerman and John Burbank, rallied to support Orman's bid and aimed to provide him the funding he needs.

Milton Wolf

Wolf announced a $250,000 TV ad buy that started on July 2, 2014, and continued through the primary on August 5, 2014. It was the Wolf campaign’s first broadcast TV buy.

Key votes

Below are important votes the incumbent cast during the 113th Congress.

Government shutdown

See also: United States budget debate, 2013

During the shutdown in October 2013, the Senate rejected, down party lines, every House-originated bill that stripped the budget of funding for the Affordable Care Act. A deal was reached late on October 16, 2013, just hours before the debt ceiling deadline. The bill to reopen the government, H.R. 2775, lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies. The final vote on H.R. 2775 was 81-18, with all 18 votes against the bill from Republican members. Pat Roberts voted with the Republican Party against the bill.

Issues

Noteworthy events

Hitler comparison

Milton Wolf (R) compared President Barack Obama to Hitler, tweeting a comparison of Obama's treatment of "successful Americans" to the Nazi's treatment of Jews.

Residency

• Roberts had struggled with speculation about his permanent residence.
  • “I don’t measure my competency or my record or the results – and I do get results – on where I put my head on a pillow,” Roberts said.
• In a February 2014 interview, Sen. Pat Roberts acknowledged that he did not have a home of his own in Kansas and that the residence he lists as his voting address belongs to two longtime supporters and donors — C. Duane and Phyllis Ross. He reportedly established his voting address the day before his challenger, Milton Wolf, announced his candidacy in 2013. Roberts said he pays a friend $300 a month to stay in a room in the friend's house during visits to Kansas.
  • Spokeswoman Sarah Little said in a statement regarding how much time Roberts spends in Kansas, "We're not going to release numbers because we're not sure that any number would be acceptable to some of these outside groups. We're worried about what the yardstick is. Who defines how much is enough days in the state?"
• In October of 2014, the Wichita Eagle reported that Roberts had been struggling to pay taxes on his non-Kansas home and had been late with his payment four of the past six years.

Vanity plates

In February 2014, Roberts faced criticism for his vanity license plates, registered in Virginia.

Kansas Agriculture

Roberts had previously campaigned himself as a defender of Kansas agriculture, which was very important for the state's income. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that Roberts had missed two-thirds of meetings within the US Senate Committee on Agriculture.

Abortion

Milton Wolf (R) told about 40 people at a rally on February 27, 2014, that he was "100 percent pro-life."

Gun rights

Milton Wolf said he was a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. He also said he had a Kansas concealed carry permit and his firearm of choice is an autoloading rifle.

Media

SCA

Senate Conservatives Action, an arm of the national activist group Senate Conservatives Fund, reserved several hundred thousand dollars in airtime in Roberts’ re-election race. The longtime incumbent faced a challenge from SCF-endorsed physician Milton Wolf, among other candidates.

Pat Roberts

Pat Roberts' July 2014 ad, "Breaking."

• Roberts released an ad, "Breaking," on July 25, 2014, that attacked primary challenger Milton Wolf over his history of posting and mocking gruesome pictures on Facebook, with the narrator mentioning that a medical board was investigating Wolf.

• On February 26, 2014, Roberts released a series of ads targeting his primary challenger, Milton Wolf, over posts on Facebook, including patient x-rays.
  • A narrator in the ad said, “Dr. Milton Wolf’s patients trusted him, but stunning news reports show that Wolf exposed private patient X-rays and other personal information on Facebook — where Wolf relentlessly poked fun at the dead or wounded. A Kansas City medical ethics expert called Wolf’s behavior ‘beyond alarming’ for a professional in the field of medicine...If Milton Wolf is so irresponsible as a doctor, how can he possibly be trusted as a U.S. senator?”

• Roberts released a one-minute radio ad, "Yellow Rose," in February 2014.

Endorsements

Pat Roberts

• The U.S. Chamber of Commerce endorsed Pat Roberts on February 10, 2014.
  • Thomas Donohue, the U.S. Chamber’s President and CEO, announced the endorsement in a letter to Senator Roberts: “In today’s economy, it is critical that Members of Congress provide strong support of free enterprise and leadership for policies that will return the United States to its full growth potential. We believe that your re-election to the United States Senate will help produce sustained economic growth, help create jobs, and get our country back on track.”

• The American College of Radiology Association's political arm, known as RADPAC, spent $230,000 on mailers to help Roberts and Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander, even though both faced primary challenges from radiologists. This went against historical practice, as doctors running for office could typically count on the endorsement of at least one group—-their professional organization.
  • Both Roberts and Alexander are senior members of the Senate's Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee.
  • Roberts' opponent, Milton Wolf, is under investigation by the state's medical board for posting patients' X-rays on Facebook and making offensive comments about them.

Greg Orman

• The board of Traditional Republicans for Common Sense, an organization of roughly 70 former Republican office holders, endorsed independent Greg Orman over Republican incumbent Pat Roberts. Jim Yonally, the chairman of the group, said "We believe Greg Orman is the best qualified candidate for the office of United States senator from Kansas. Our members know leadership, because they’ve been in leadership. They’ve been on the front line."

• Jim Sherow, Democratic candidate for Kansas' 1st Congressional District, endorsed Orman as well.

• Women for Kansas, a group that had endorsed Democratic candidates in other Kansas races, endorsed Orman.

Milton Wolf

• The Senate Conservatives Fund endorsed Milton Wolf on December 10, 2013. Executive Director Matt Hoskins endorsed Wolf, describing him as “a principled conservative who will fight to stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are bankrupting our country.”
  • “He’s not a career politician. He’s a doctor who understands exactly why Obamacare must be repealed. Kansas Republicans deserve a real choice this election, and Dr. Wolf gives them a chance to send someone new to Washington who will shake things up and bring about real change.”

• The Madison Project endorsed Milton Wolf on December 19, 2013.
  • "Even though he has never held public office, Dr. Wolf has exhibited a command of the issues and a dedication to conservative values that is lacking among most individuals in Washington. Sen. Roberts has served admirably for a number of decades, but if we ever hope to rebuild the Senate majority on a solid conservative foundation, we need fewer career politicians and more citizen leaders like Milton Wolf."

Other endorsements include:

• Tea Party Express
• Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund
