Democratic state Sen. Tom Holland of Baldwin City may run for governor

State Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, has defeated two Republican incumbents in his political career.

Not many Kansas Democrats can say that in this Republican-rich state.

On Wednesday, Holland said that he may run for governor.

“I’m actively considering it,” he said.

If he won the Democratic nomination, he would presumably face U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., a well-financed politician who has a presidential run on his resume.

Could Holland, who has little name recognition outside his northeast Kansas district, mount a credible challenge?
