Kansas City-area businessman Greg Orman will be on the ballot in November as an independent candidate in the Kansas governor’s race.
The Secretary of State’s office announced Friday afternoon that Orman’s independent nomination petition was sufficient. He delivered more than 10,000 signatures to the office last week — twice the amount required by law.
Orman’s running mate for lieutenant governor is state Sen. John Doll from western Kansas.
Four other candidates are in the governor’s race: Republican Kris Kobach, Democrat Laura Kelly, Independent Rick Kloos and Libertarian Jeff Caldwell.
