Pastor Adam Hamilton

Rev. Adam Hamiliton thinks that faith can play a role in turning the political tide towards Democrats during the midterm elections. The Leawood pastor spoke with KCUR’s Up To Date about the issues important to him in his run for a Kansas U.S. Senate seat, and about bridging the divide in Washington.

The Resurrection church leader had pondered challenging incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall as an independent, but instead will join an already-crowded Democratic field. The Kansas GOP has already filed an FEC complaint alleging Hamilton improperly used church resources.

The founding pastor of Village Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Dr. Robert H. Meneilly, was "completely unafraid in the pulpit." He died on July 20 at age 96.
