There’s apparently another early entry into a 2018 Kansas congressional race.
Democrat Jay Sidie lost his 2016 campaign against incumbent 3rd District congressman Kevin Yoder by about 10 points -- but that was much closer than many expected.
Now Sidie has sent out an email fundraising appeal, asking supporters to kick in $5 to a potential rematch with Yoder.
Sidie says in the email that he wants to build on the success the Democrats had in the 4th District special election last week.
Sidie, a Mission Woods businessman, filed a campaign finance report last month with the FEC showing he has about $78,000 in his campaign account.
