KANSAS CITY, KAN. ----- Independent U.S. Senate candidate Greg Orman has officially qualified for the 2014 U.S. Senate race.

Orman submitted over 11,500 signatures to the Kansas Secretary of State's office. Signatures came from voters in all 105 counties in the State of Kansas.

The 11,500 signatures were more than double the required 5,000 number to appear on the ballot as an independent candidate.

“I’m very pleased that Kansas voters will have a choice this November between the tired partisan politics of the past that have tied Washington in knots and made progress impossible, and a new, independent approach that focuses on practical problem solving rather than extreme partisanship,” said Orman.
