United Methodist megachurch pastor Adam Hamilton won the Democratic primary in Kansas for a contested U.S. Senate seat Aug. 4 and will face the Republican incumbent in November. Hamilton formally entered the primary race in April, after a Lenten listening tour across the state. As a successful pastor, Hamilton knows something about fundraising. “We’re roughly equal parts Republican, Democrat and independent, and we’ve learned to love and appreciate each other precisely because of our differences.” Hamilton also joins Presbyterian minister James Talarico, who is the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas.
