Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt sought to build his conservative credentials Sunday, appearing alongside Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and pledging to mimic his policies if he is elected governor. 
 
“I want a future for our great state of Kansas that looks a whole lot more like Ron DeSantis has in Florida,” Schmidt, a fellow Republican, said at a rally in Olathe. 
 
He promised to support DeSantis’ policies in schools — restricting instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in early school grades, barring transgender athletes from girls sports and approving a “parents bill of rights.”
 
The event came three days after DeSantis made headlines, and sparked national outrage, for flying two planes full of Venezuelan migrants to Martha’s Vineyard. Schmidt repeated a statement he gave The Star last week praising the move, which DeSantis told the crowd was designed to expose hypocrisy in sanctuary cities.
