Someone tell Sen. Moran: You shouldn't be in Kansas anymore

Posted by Nate Hoffman on Jan. 6, 2015

On Inauguration Day, most elected officials take in all the pomp and circumstance with their families in the nation's capital. One senator will be celebrating the start of the 114th Congress, however, with his constituents.

Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) plans to continue his "Kansas Listening Tour" with the residents of Johnson County. The Kansas Republican, who according to LegiStorm records had the most town halls among all senators last year, will spend tonight at a fire station in Lenexa, Kan. with local residents. Moran has already hosted two other "Kansas Listening Tour" events since the New Year, in Dighton and Scott City last Friday.

Moran's outreach means he might be less likely to meet the fate of Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), who lost touch with voters, forcing his campaign to scramble unusually hard. Roberts eventually edged his opponent. Moran is up for re-election in 2016.
