KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab announced Wednesday he's running for Kansas governor in 2026.

The Kansas Republican launched a website in support of his candidacy. His priorities include cuts to property taxes, restoration of conservative values in Topeka and banning China from buying land near military bases.

The two-term secretary of state is a native of Great Bend and has ties to the Kansas City area, where he won elected office out of Olathe.
