Kansas surgeon running for U.S. Senate focuses campaign on gun policy, affordable health care [View all]
TOPEKA — Kevin Latz, a pediatric surgeon, said he has “spent way too many hours in the operating room taking bullets out of children.”
But he is also an outdoorsman, citing one of his proudest moments as a father when his daughter shot her first turkey last winter. These experiences informed one of his top policy priorities as he runs for the U.S. Senate. Latz said he wants to push for a federal gun purchasing waiting period, mandatory firearm safety training and a moratorium on the purchase of weapons at gun shows.

Latz, a Democrat, is one of 12 people challenging the Republican incumbent U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall.
