Adam Hamilton Runs from Second Debate

September 18, 2026

For immediate release

Today, Adam Hamilton declined to participate in a second debate that was scheduled with Nexstar Television Network. This would have been the largest televised audience ever for a debate in Kansas — airing on FOX4, KSN, KSNF, KSNT and KSNW — nearly 95% of the state.

Senator Marshall accepted the debate on September 4th while Hamilton missed three separate deadlines before finally declining.

“Adam Hamilton is afraid to debate without the manufactured crowds he bussed into the State Fair. He’s running away from this debate because he doesn’t actually stand for anything — all he offers are platitudes, colloquialisms, and theatrics,” said the Marshall Campaign.

“In less than a week since claiming it cut food stamps at the state fair debate, Hamilton has already flip flopped on the Farm Bill.

It’s clear Adam Hamilton stands for nothing and is too weak to stand on his own for Kansas.”
