Kansas senator plans to reach out to constituents on Election Day

Posted by LegiStorm on Oct. 9, 2014

While Kansas GOP Sen. Pat Roberts will be nervously watching ballots on Election Day as he faces accusations that he is out of touch with voters, his Republican colleague, Jerry Moran, has made his own plans that day to get in touch with constituents.

Moran is the first member of Congress to announce a town hall event for Nov. 4. The lunchtime event in Neodesha, Kansas, is co-hosted with the Rotary Club. The junior senator won't be on the ballot until 2016.

Moran has hosted frequent town halls. He claimed he crossed the 1,000-mark for town hall meetings a year ago with a pancake breakfast stop.

Meanwhile, Roberts is locked in a bruising campaign with independent Greg Orman. Recent polling suggests Orman is neck and neck with the long-time incumbent.
