Episode Details

Seventy-four-year-old Arch Naramore is making a bold comeback in the Kansas Senate race, challenging incumbent Roger Marshall in the August 4 primary. After losing to Sam Brownback in 2004, Naramore’s return is fueled by frustration with Marshall’s alignment with Trump-era policies—especially on SNAP, tax breaks for the wealthy, and tariffs that hurt farmers. He also questions Marshall’s Kansas residency and criticizes his past role in a hospital venture that he claims undercut a local nonprofit. With a history of independent thinking—including a youthful marijuana incident—he’s running under the name Arch Pond Naramore, mirroring Marshall’s “Doc” branding, and even added “rhino” to his email to reclaim the “Republican in name only” label as a badge of honor. Despite being a longshot against Marshall’s well-funded campaign, Naramore’s campaign is a fiery indictment of what he sees as a senator out of touch with Kansas.
