With former Sens. Robert J. Dole and Nancy Kassenbaum Baker serving as the honorary chairs, Sen. Pat Roberts announced the team that he hopes will help win a third term serving Kansas.

About his re-election team, Sen. Roberts said that he, "could not ask for a more outstanding team of Kansans to support my re-election effort as we join together to build a better Kansas."

Adele Hall of Mission Hills and Russ Meyer of Wichita will lead the efforts as co-chairs.

Saying that, "Bob, Nancy, Adele, and Russ of Kansans from every corner," Sen. Roberts called, "[t]heir endorsement... the gold standard of any elected official."

Sen. Roberts also announced the unveiled steering committees for each congressional district to work on a regional level. Second District members of the committee include Beth Fager and Sue Gahndi of Topeka and Jan Lyons of Manhattan.
