TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Two leading Kansas conservatives are supporting a state House member in his bid for the Kansas Senate.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach and 1st District Congressman Tim Huelskamp announced endorsements of Joe Patton. The three-term state rep is trying to unseat two-term incumbent Vicki Schmidt in the GOP primary for the 20th Senate district.

Kobach called Patton the "real Republican" in the race, while Huelskamp cited Patton's support of traditional values.
