TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and Democratic challenger Paul Davis are making multiple stops across Kansas as they try to pick up the last few votes ahead of Tuesday’s election.

Davis started Monday by greeting western Kansas voters in Dodge City. He then traveled east to Greensburg, Pratt and Great Bend.

Brownback toured south-central Kansas and had stops in Garden Plain, Derby and Andover.

The governor is pressing his case that personal income tax cuts enacted at his urging have spurred an economic comeback for Kansas.

In Topeka, retired nursery owners Jim and Diane Herynk (HUR’-ihnk) said they voted in advance for Brownback because he lowered taxes as promised.

But Davis told The Associated Press that there’s general dissatisfaction with Brownback over the budget problems his tax cuts have caused.
