Candidates across the state of Kansas are trying to make their final impression on voters with less than a week to go before election day.

 

Current Attorney General and Gubernatorial Candidate Derek Schmidt stopped by the KGGF studios on his way to the Coffeyville Chamber's monthly Business Over Breakfast event to give an update on his campaign.

Schmidt, who is a Republican running against current incumbent Democrat Laura Kelly says he has several priorities if elected.

Schmidt says as a more long-term goal, it's essential to make a four-lane highway across southeast Kansas a priority.

Schmidt also mentioned the importance of phasing out state income tax on qualified retirement income in an attempt to keep retirees from leaving the state.
