Kansas Reflector: Fledgling newcomer to Kansas party politics working to create powerful kind of fusion

Curtis, founding chairman of the United Kansas Party, said escalation in divisive politics within the Republican and Democratic parties and a feeling among people across the political spectrum that they didn’t fit within confines of those two partisan options led to the idea of creating an alternative home for independent-minded Kansans.

Curtis said this type of ballot construction has potential to appeal to right- and left-leaning independent voter convinced their voices weren’t been heard in the Republican or Democratic parties. The idea could serve as a moderating influence on extremes of the two major parties, he said.
