GOP Senator Roger Marshall Tied With Democrat Adam Hamilton In Deep-Red Kansas: POLL

A Kansas Senate contest that Republicans would normally expect to win has become a dead heat. RealClearPolling's average on Monday put Republican incumbent Roger Marshall and Democratic nominee Adam Hamilton level at 45. 8%. The state has not sent a Democrat to the Senate since George McGill won reelection in November 1932, which makes the numbers striking, according to Daily Caller.

Both parties are responding with money. The Senate Leadership Fund, the leading Republican super PAC, has booked $10 million in ads through Election Day, Politico reports, after previously planning $14 million for the race. It has also been spending heavily in Texas, Iowa and Ohio. Senate Majority PAC, the Democrats' Senate arm, is putting $5 million into statewide television, including a spot hitting Marshall for opposing an amendment that would force the Justice Department to release Jeffrey Epstein files. The group's research suggests such ads shift races by three to six points toward Democrats.

Marshall has also faced bad press. The New York Times reported that during his years as an OB-GYN he took more than 700 patients to court over unpaid bills, and 81 arrests followed.
