- "Same Brownback grew up on a farm outside of Parker, Kansas " - typo
- Fixed.
- " before being appointed as an ambassador-at-large by President Donald Trump in 2017." - body just mentions him being nominated; if he did get fully appointed that needs to be explicitly stated and cited in the body
- Added additional information.
- " the Kansas portion of the Kansas City metropolitan area" - Kansas City, Kansas?
- Fixed the phrasing.
- Recommend working in a link to 2014 Kansas gubernatorial election in the aftermath section
- Added links to both that and 2010 Kansas gubernatorial election.
- Sources all look reliable enough for what they're citing. Newsweek is kinda sketchy as a source but was solid at the time the cited pieces were produced, and I see nothing wrong with the Fox pieces and other stuff like that
- Did some spot checks as I went along, and didn't find any issues with copyright violations or unsupported text
- Image licensing looks fine
- Not a GA point, but recommend creating 2008 Sam Brownback presidential campaign as a redirect
- Will do.
- Earwig copyvio check catches a couple quotes but that's it
Good work here; this one looks like it's in really good shape. Will be placing on hold. Hog Farm Talk 02:29, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

- ... that during Sam Brownback's 2008 presidential campaign, he mentioned the yellow brick road in both the speech that began and the speech that ended his candidacy? [1][2]
Improved to Good Article status by JJonahJackalope (talk). Self-nominated at 16:23, 2 July 2021 (UTC).
New enough (promoted GA on July 2, 2021) and definitely long enough (16,604 characters). As it is a GA, it is within policy. Earwig Copyvio detector detects no Possible copyright violation. Hook is withing character limit (161 characters long) and is cited. Indeed Brownback mentioned yellow brick road during both his announcement and withdrawal speech. Hook may be rephrased by an admin if required. I think it's good to go! Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 08:35, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
