Exciting News!
Free State has merged with United Kansas.
On the ballot in 2026. A real choice for Kansans.
We are now part of an official, Kansas-certified party that will be on the ballot in 2026. Together, we are moving forward as United Kansas, the Free State Party.
This is not a departure from what we built. It is the next step.
The new United Kansas Executive Committee will include an equal number of current United Kansas members and former Free State members. One of Free State’s founders, Scott Morgan, will serve as Executive Director of the merged organization.
Our commitment to Principled Moderation remains the same. Our foundational principles remain the same. Our plan remains the same: bring balance to Kansas and ensure no party governs without meaningful opposition and accountability.
What changes is our ability to act.
As a certified party, we now have ballot access for our candidates, a broader coalition, and a stronger ability to apply our principles in races that too often go uncontested.
This broader coalition is built from the center. Center-left, center-right, and everything in between. Grounded in shared principles and broad enough to restore balance, competence, and decency to Kansas governance.
None of this happens without you.
Whether you volunteered, donated, shared our message, or simply showed support, you helped make this possible.
And we are just getting started.
The next chapter is about action. Recruiting candidates. Competing in key races. Earning the trust of Kansans who are ready for something better.
Let’s keep building this together and show what’s possible right here in Kansas.
Still inspired by President Eisenhower’s vision of:
“…a program of progressive moderation, liberal in its human concerns, conservative in its economic proposals, constructively dynamic and optimistic in its appraisal of the future.”
"When anything is going to happen in this country, it happens first in Kansas. Abolition, Prohibition, Populism, the Bull Moose...these things came popping out of Kansas like bats out of hell.”
William Allen White, 20th Century Kansas editor and proponent of main street moderation.
