Ethan Corson and Cindy Holscher are running in the Democratic primary for Governor of Kansas on August 4, 2026. Corson explicitly pitches himself as a centrist moderate while Holscher supports legalizing medical marijuana, calls for an independent redistricting panel, term limits, and limits on corporate PAC money in elections. She wants to make school lunches free for every Kansas student and expand special education funding. She has been a vocal supporter of reproductive rights and opposed the 2022 constitutional amendment that would have restricted abortion access. She wants to raise the minimum wage to $16 per hour and allow higher-cost cities to set even higher minimums, plus mandate paid sick leave. The filing deadline isn't until June 1, 2026, so the field could still grow.
