1 min read
Kansas Senate candidate Democrat Adam Hamilton, known for his campaign against billionaires and special interests, faces scrutiny over his financial disclosures. His net worth is reported to be up to $20 million, with a salary from his megachurch, Church of the Resurrection, exceeding that of U.S. senators. Hamilton earns $394,239 annually from the church, a figure that starkly contrasts with the median household income in Kansas, which stands at $75,514.
Real Estate and Additional Income
Hamilton also owns a vacation home in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, valued at nearly $1 million, and a primary residence in Stilwell, Kansas, estimated at $1.4 million. Beyond his salary, he earns publishing royalties totaling $417,372.70 from United Methodist Publishing House, according to his financial disclosure.
Church Activities and Political Ties
The Church of the Resurrection, under Hamilton’s leadership, has partnered with Kansas City PrideFest, sponsoring events like the “Drag Queen Story Time & Gay Pride Festival.” This collaboration has drawn attention, with images showing the church as a 2025 PrideFest sponsor. Hamilton’s involvement with national Democrats has also come under the spotlight, as polls show a tight race in the state.
Hamilton has donated to Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign and served on an Obama-era council that recommended expanding eligibility for commutations and pardons. The race for Senate in Kansas is intensifying, with Republican Sen. Roger Marshall leading in recent polls. President Donald Trump is set to host a rally in support of Marshall, highlighting the growing political divide in the state.
