Former Kansas Republican governor endorses Democratic Senate challenger
The supplied reports agree that former Kansas Republican Gov. Bill Graves endorsed Democrat Adam Hamilton, a Methodist minister challenging Republican Sen. Roger Marshall.

Scripture connections
Passages readers commonly bring to a story like this, shown with their surrounding context.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
Ethical application · WEBTest all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
A reader might connect the instruction to test all things with the need to evaluate Graves’s criticism, Hamilton’s candidacy and Marshall’s record rather than accepting partisan claims automatically. Holding firmly to what is good encourages judgment based on truth and moral substance rather than party affiliation.
Read the surrounding context (1 Thessalonians 5:16-22)
Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. Don’t quench the Spirit. Don’t despise prophesies. Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. Abstain from every form of evil.
This interpretation is debated. Christians may differ over which political record or policy commitments qualify as good, while agreeing that claims and candidates should be tested carefully.
