Idk. Why he would he give up a safe Senate seat to make a risky run for governor?

For some people, it's a step up. I would consider myself one of those people.

He's probably trying to shore up support for Republicans in Kansas' state legislature. Kansas is effectively a tripartite system, and if the moderate Republicans side with Democrats come redistricting, it could lead to a real mess for Moran down the line.

Why would redistricting have any effect on a Senator?

The people elected to the U.S. House could covet his seat, or they could either help or hurt his political agenda (whatever that might be) in their capacity as members of Congress.

Well, looks like this election will be a third consecutive referendum on Brownback then.

What would this entail in terms of the outcome?
