Kansas icon and former Sen. Bob Dole visited the Homecoming 2016 Gameday Tailgate on Saturday morning held before the game at the University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium.
Dole appeared with Republican U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, who is running for re-election against Democrat Britani Potter, but Jenkins described the event as a non-political chance for members of the public to interact with Dole.
“It’s just Bob and Lynn hanging out,” she said, calling the former senator a dearly valued mentor.
