Sen. Pat Roberts, a Kansas Republican whose elected career has spanned nearly four decades across both Congressional chambers, will step down at the end of his term in 2020, he said Friday.
His retirement opens the door to a range of potential Republican candidates for the seat, including former Gov. Jeff Colyer; Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a former Kansas congressman; Rep. Roger Marshall; and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.

It will be interesting to see how this works out. Especially with regards to Kobach, who never saw a vote he didn't want to suppress.
