KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The general election is November 8.  U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Labor Secretary Martin Walsh are scheduled for campaign duty in Kansas Wednesday.

The two Biden cabinet secretaries  will make appearances with Democrat candidates.

 Walsh is scheduled to appear with Kansas 3rd District Democratic Representative Sharice Davids in Edgerton for a supply chain-focused event, according to a statement from his office. Davids is in a tight race with GOP challenger Amanda Adkins.

Buttigieg will address a rally for candidates in Kansas City, Kansas. 

In January, Secretary Buttigieg made a stop in Kansas City, Kansas to promote President Biden's bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill and the associated investment in the region.

On Friday, former Vice President Mike Pence will appear with Derek Schmidt at B&C Barbecue in Wichita, according to Schmidt’s campaign. Schmidt is in a tight race for governor against incumbent Laura Kelly.

Fellow Republicans, Sen. Jerry Moran and Reps. Ron Estes, Tracey Mann and Jake LaTurner, will also attend the campaign event.
