The two candidates for Kansas House District 11 make their case to voters during a candidate forum in Coffeyville.

Republican incumbent Ron Bryce and Democratic challenger William Kendall took part in the forum, giving voters an opportunity to hear from both candidates ahead of the November general election. Bryce has represented District 11 in the Kansas House since 2023. During his opening remarks, Bryce talked about his connection to Coffeyville and his time serving the district. He says when the moved back here he got involved with the community after purchasing some buildings downtown and opening new businesses.  Kendall is a Coffeyville City Commissioner and longtime Coffeyville resident. He says he's here to listen and work hard.

The candidates also answered questions during the forum on issues facing District 11 and the state of Kansas. KGGF News will take a closer look at both candidates later this week, with individual features on Bryce and Kendall. The candidate profiles begin with Bryce, coming up tomorrow followed by Kendall on Friday. A link to the full forum can be found here.
