In order to replace Kevin Yoder with a conservative vote in the House, Webb believes that his resignation and support for Rob Bruchman will reduce the possibility of a split conservative vote and help the Republican Party. Webb said “I cannot in good conscience deny the voters the ability to elect a fiscal conservative no matter how strong my desire to represent this district, conservative principles are more important than a personal victory.”
Upon news of his resignation Rob Bruchman states “Matt Webb is a great young Kansan, who has shown a willingness to sacrifice in service of the state, I have no doubt he will be of great service to Kansas in the future.”
Webb continued, “I appreciate the response and support I have received from across the state and district. I would like to officially endorse Rob Bruchman for the Republican nomination for the 20th district Kansas House of Representative’s seat, as he represents the fiscally responsible voice our district needs in Topeka. Rob understands the issues and concerns of the district and county, including the importance of our great schools of which he was a graduate. His strong background in law, academics, and small business assured me that he is the right choice for the 20th district and will never betray the district or his values for political expediency or petty side issues. I appreciate the opportunity to run and the support I was shown"
