PATRICK SCHMIDT FOR KANSAS
The allegations surrounding Pastor Adam Hamilton and the Church of the Resurrection are horrifying, deeply disturbing, and disqualifying. According to court documents, church leadership failed in the most basic moral and legal responsibility to protect children from harm. Instead of listening to victims and immediately contacting law enforcement, powerful adults allegedly chose to protect an institution and an abuser, leaving vulnerable children exposed to further abuse. No one seeking to represent the people of Kansas in the United States Senate should be carrying unanswered questions of this magnitude regarding child safety, abuse, and institutional accountability. Pastor Adam Hamilton should immediately withdraw from this race and allow a full public reckoning to take place without the cloud of political ambition interfering with the truth.
