WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is traveling to Kansas once again to campaign and raise money amid a tight gubernatorial race.

Christie is chairman of the Republican Governor’s Association. He is scheduled to come Monday afternoon to Wichita, where he will be campaigning with Gov. Sam Brownback at a retail store. The campaign stop will be followed by a closed fundraising event.

The Republican incumbent is locked in a tight race with Democratic challenger Paul Davis amid a backlash from voters concerned about massive tax cuts that have created budget shortfalls.

Christie has campaign events scheduled in Minnesota and Kansas on Monday, followed by stops on Tuesday in Maine and Connecticut.
