Up To Date · State sen. Patrick Schmidt said experience sets him apart in U.S. Senate primary for Kansas · 20 Jun 2026 podcast

You think that Adam Hamilton mishandled the allegations that happened 20 years ago and that he should step out of the race.

And you have no regrets about introducing that issue into the campaign.

You know, the environment you talked about, the political environment you talked about is a rough and tumble sort of place.

How do you think you would begin to navigate, you know, that hostile, that uncompromising environment?

I mean, you've talked about working across, trying to work across party lines and not having a lot of success doing it in the Kansas legislature.

How are you going to navigate that environment?

You named the cost of living and people's ability to pay for things as a high priority to you.

How would you actually address that from a program standpoint?

I mean, what specific policy or law would actually change that?

And what could you effectively do about that as a member of the U.S.

Senate?

Yeah, I am curious.

I mean, you mentioned your service as a naval intelligence officer.

I wonder how that does shape your thinking about what's happening in the world, the ongoing war that perhaps has reached a ceasefire with Iran, but also about serving in the Senate.

I mean, how does your military service affect your thinking about this kind of national service?

Another of your top three issues was health care, another of those complex issues that has sort of plagued lawmakers and presidents, for that matter, for a generation now.

Even major pieces of legislation that do not seem to have solved the problem of the affordability of health care or access for everyone.

What would you do that's so different?

I mean, it's an intractable problem.

What is electing you to the Senate going to do about it?
