Washington has lost its way — we all know it — and we will not change Washington until we change who we send to Washington. Tomorrow Kansans have an opportunity to do just that.
Too often, Republicans can offer little more than saying what they’re against, rather than what they stand for. This achieves little more than whining. We desperately need Republicans who can offer bold, positive, conservative solutions rather than just complaints. We desperately need new Republican leaders who can communicate why conservatism is not only effective, but also compassionate.
I am challenging Senator Pat Roberts in the Republican primary. After 47 years in Washington, Roberts cannot name any achievements worthy of re-election. Can you? He’s lost his way, voting for Barack Obama’s $600 billion tax hike, 11 debt ceiling increases and even for Kathleen Sebelius to run ObamaCare. Before I challenged him, before his breathtaking election-year conversion, Senator Roberts’ lackluster scorecards at Club For Growth and FreedomWorks were 55 and 54, respectively.
Pat Roberts is hiding from the issues that matter most to Kansans and all Americans. He has refused to debate me even after repeatedly and publicly promising voters he would, but there are serious policy differences between us. I offer positive conservative solutions while Pat Roberts offers more of the same.
TERM LIMITS
I support term limits and will lead by example, pledging to serve only two terms in the U.S. Senate. I will continue to practice medicine in Kansas (part time and as a volunteer) while I serve and practice
full-time when complete. Pat Roberts

Buh buh buh buh buh he’s not Roberts !
I understand Dr. Wolf is a photography buff, especially X-Rays ?
Wolf is related to obama. Now that is a big rat.
Cotton please do the math for me on the number of year?
Let’s set the record straight. Pat Roberts has been in DC for a total of 33 years as an elected official. Wolf constantly misstates the facts.
Senator (R-KS) since 1997 (17 years) Previous office: Representative (KS 1st District) 1981–1997 (16 years) I have a problem with Milton’wolf’s math. He should try for a local position before running for Senate
They’re counting the prior years when he worked for Sen. Frank Carlson and Congressman Keith Sebelius. Still, the implication they make is that he’s been in the Senate since 1967 instead of 1997. It’s very deceitful.
very decitful. Something you would expect from Obama. Oh that is right. Wolf is related.
Kissin’ cousins...
Roberts also worked for a congressman (Sebelius) from 1969-1981 (when Roberts took his boss’s seat) and for a senator I believe from 1967-1969.
So Wolf is correct. Roberts has been in Washington for 47 years.
The apostolic selection of politicians by politicians and for politicians needs to stop. Voters need to support candidates who will represent them, not just join the incumbents protection society.
Happy to take the bait
The whole point of his residency issue is that he left his native state of Kansas a long, long time ago. He graduated from Kansas State University in 1957 and was commissioned as a Marine Corps officer. After he left the Marine Corps, he moved to Arizona and took a job as a journalist. In 1967, he moved to Washington as a staffer for Keith Sebelius, the long time Republican member of the House for Kansas 1, and the father-in-law of Kathleen Sebelius. He was elected to the Sebelius seat upon Sebelius’ retirement and then elected to the Senate when Kassenbaum-Landon retired.
Not only has he lived in Washington for 47 years, he has been a card carrying member of the Republican establishment for much longer as his father was the Chairman of the Kansas Republican Party and then Chairman of the Republican National Committee until fired by Eisenhower for his involvement in a bribery scheme.
I think that your problem is more likely that this issue is hitting home and Roberts has not done well countering it. The notion that only professional politicians are eligible for the exalted office of Senator is one that I reject out of hand.
Roberts is an establishment and Washington insider to the very depth of his bones.
I see that the Roberts campaign staff has joined the conversation. Good luck to you tomorrow.
Nope worked in and out of DC. Try and twist the words it does not work. Wolf is Dead on arrival. Perhaps we can get the X-rays Tuesday evening about 10 PM. You want to come to the Robert’s victory party? Seems that Gov Brownback, Congressman Yoder and Jerry Moran will be attending it. Where is Wolf’s party going to be? He never shows up at mainstream KS GOP functions?
Just a proud Kansan. Not a member of any staff but proud to be supporting some winners.
Who is Milton Wolf ?
Where’s my paycheck ?
Maybe Miltie will be at the White House celebrating with Cousin Zero ?
In 48 hours he'll be the man who lost the nomination to Pat Roberts.
I think that ncfool fat fingered it. I’m sure it takes two paychecks to get a happy meal.
Is Wikipedia incorrect?
“Roberts was a reporter and editor for several Arizona newspapers before joining the staff of Republican Kansas Senator Frank Carlson in 1967. In 1969, he became administrative assistant to Kansas’s 1st District Congressman Keith Sebelius.
After Keith Sebelius announced his retirement, Roberts easily won the Republican primary, which was tantamount to election in the heavily Republican 1st District.”
Obama like giving out free things. I wonder if Milton is like that?
