A Republican endorses an Independent candidate, rather than Republican candidate Kris Kobach for Kansas Governor.

“I made it clear when I joined Governor Colyer’s campaign that I believed Kansas needed a leader who was committed to the state,” Baccus said. “While my candidate in the primary election did not succeed, I remain committed to ensuring that Kansas has the best leaders possible.”
Job losses headed for Kansas City’s Sprint?
From the KCStar’s Mark Davis: Sprint, T-Mobile merger means 28,000 jobs lost, including 4,500 at HQs, union claims https://t.co/5kVUgKo5dG

Specifically, 24,000 jobs would be gone as overlapping retail stores close for not only the Sprint and T-Mobile brands but also their pre-paid brands Boost and MetroPCS, the filing said.
An additional 4,500 headquarters jobs would disappear, it claimed, as a merged company sought to eliminate duplication at the Overland Park headquarters of Sprint and the Bellevue, Wash., headquarters of T-Mobile. Sprint has about 6,000 employees at its headquarters campus, though it had announced plans to eliminate 500 jobs there.
