The2014 United States Senate election in Kansas was held on November 4, 2014, to elect a member of theUnited States Senate to represent theState of Kansas , concurrently withother elections to the United States Senate in other states,elections to theUnited States House of Representatives , and variousstate andlocal elections .
IncumbentRepublican SenatorPat Roberts was re-elected to a fourth term againstIndependent Greg Orman andLibertarian nominee Randall Batson. TheDemocratic nominee,Chad Taylor , withdrew from the race.
Roberts gained negative press attention after criticism that he did not own a home in Kansas, with some comparing the situation to that of former Indiana SenatorRichard Lugar , who lost a2012 Senate primary after a similar residency controversy.[ 1] Alexandria, Virginia .[ 2] [ 3]
Primary opponentMilton R. Wolf , a radiologist, was under investigation by a state medical ethics board for posting X-ray images of dead patients with macabre commentary to Facebook.[ 4]

Libertarian primary [ edit ] Randall Batson, nominee for the State House in 2012[ 47] Greg Orman , businessman, briefly ran in the Democratic primary in 2008 before dropping out[ 48] [ 49] Republicans were worried about Roberts' campaign in August 2014, perceiving it as lethargic and inactive, that Roberts had a low favorability rating, and that internal polling suggested the race was rather close. At the behest of Senate Minority leaderMitch McConnell as well as former SenatorBob Dole , Roberts fired his longtime campaign manager Leroy Towns in early September 2014.Chris LaCivita was brought in to revamp the race, and LaCivita protegeCorry Bliss replaced Towns as campaign manager. Bliss urged Roberts focus on a strategy of tying Orman to President Obama at every turn, as Obama had low favorability ratings in Kansas. Roberts also began spending more time in Kansas, living in a hotel in Topeka rather than his home in Alexandria, Virginia.[ 50] [ 51]
On September 3,Democratic nomineeChad Taylor withdrew from the race.[ 52] Kris Kobach , the RepublicanKansas Secretary of State , announced that Taylor would remain on the ballot because state law demands he declare himself "incapable of fulfilling the duties of office if elected" in order to be removed, which he did not do.[ 53] [ 54]
On the same day, Kobach demanded the chairman of the Democratic Party name a replacement in eight days, saying he would consider litigation to force the party if they refused.[ 55]
A registered Democrat with family ties to RepublicanGovernor Sam Brownback 's campaign also filed a petition with the Kansas Supreme Court on September 18 to force the Democratic Party to name a new candidate.[ 56] [ 57]
The state district court inShawnee County threw out the petition, meaning no replacement for Taylor needed to be named.[ 58]
The efforts by Bliss and other Republican strategists would ultimately prove successful. Roberts' polling improved in October. Roberts defeated Orman in the general election, winning reelection to a fourth term in office.[ 50]
If Orman had been elected, the U.S. Senate would have had three independent senators for the first time in the chamber's history. This—and the question of whom Orman would choose to caucus with if elected—were large questions in the electoral contest, and because the Kansas race was showing tight in the polls, a subject of considerable national political discourse as well.[ 59]
