Leading Off

KS-Sen: While the radical anti-tax Club for Growth has not endorsed a candidate in the GOP contest for this open seat, they're taking action to make sure an old adversary goes down. Politico reports that the group has reserved $2.1 million for a buy against Rep. Roger Marshall that will start June 9 and last until the Aug. 4 primary.

Marshall clashed with the Club back in 2016 when he challenged their ally, Rep. Tim Huelskamp, for renomination in the 1st Congressional District. The Club ultimately spent $420,000, which was a serious sum in this rural western Kansas seat, on ads, including a spot declaring that Marshall"supports more Washington debt, opposes full repeal of Obamacare, supports internet sales taxes, and funded a Democrat's campaign." Huelskamp had made just too many enemies during his time in Congress, though, and Marshall dispatched him 57-43.
