WICHITA, Kan. (AP)  Kansas City-area businessman Greg Orman has submitted enough valid signatures to appear on the Nov. 6 ballot as an independent candidate for Kansas governor, launching what could become the most serious candidacy for governor by someone outside a major party since the 1930s.
The Secretary of State’s office said Friday that the names of Orman and his lieutenant governor nominee John Doll would appear on the November ballot.
Orman will face Democratic State Sen. Laura Kelly of Topeka and Republican Secretary of State Kris Kobach, whose nomination was only settled this week after Gov. Jeff Colyer conceded in a primary with a razor-thin margin of some 350 votes out of more than 316,000 cast.
