The following is a statement from Senator Tom Holland, candidate for Kansas Governor:
"Too often voters are unable to cut through the partisan bickering and political rhetoric surrounding candidates for office. That is why an honest and open debate on the issues will benefit the people of Kansas as they choose the next Governor of our Great State.
"Therefore, I formally challenge Senator Brownback to ten gubernatorial debates, with at least one in each Congressional District, all hosted and moderated by a nonpartisan group, media outlet or academic institution."
