Kris Kobach Biography

Kris Kobach is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on March 26, 1966 in Madison, Madison, United States. Kobach was born in Madison, Wisconsin, to Janice Mardell (née Iverson) and William Louis Kobach. His great-grandparents were Bohemian and German on his father’s side and Norwegian on his mother’s side; they came to Wisconsin in the 1890s, where they were mostly farmers.

At the age of seven, in 1974, Kobach moved to Kansas with his parents and two sisters, and grew up mostly in Topeka where his father owned the Bill Kobach Buick-GMC car dealership.

Kobach ran for Kansas State Senate in 2000, finishing third out of four Republican primary candidates.

Kobach was married on June 23, 2001 to Heather Mannschreck, a former environmental systems engineer who now has a part-time photography business in addition to homeschooling their five daughters. Kobach, his wife, and their children live on their farm near Lecompton, north of Lawrence, Kansas. Their residence is in a building, the permits for which Kobach originally received lower taxation and permitting fees due to claimed intent for agricultural exemptions, rather than residential use. He stated he intends to build a residential home on the property. When building it, Kobach “closed in” the plumbing and electric work so it was not possible for the building inspector to examine it without tearing up the floor and removing walls that covered wiring. There was no septic system or water source. Despite those difficulties, he was granted permit waivers by the county administration, precipitating public controversy.

Kobach received political contributions from US Immigration Reform Pac, a political action committee (PAC) which was headed by the widow of John Tanton (1934-2019), a white supremacist known for founding numerous exclusionary and “English-Only” groups that were the core of the modern American anti-immigrant movement. It previously gave him $4,000 in his congressional race in 2004, but raised that to $20,000 when he was running for governor. Other groups founded by Tanton included the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) where Kobach worked for ten years. Paul Nachman, whom the Southern Poverty Law Center identifies as a “Montana-based extremist who frequently writes for VDARE, an openly racist blog that serves as a source for white nationalists and antisemites,” was another donor. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes VDARE as “an anti-immigration hate website” which “regularly publishes articles by prominent white nationalists, race scientists and anti-Semites”, including Steve Sailer, Jared Taylor, J. Philippe Rushton, Samuel T. Francis, and Pat Buchanan.

Kobach was born in Madison, Wisconsin on March 26, 1966. His family moved to Topeka, Kansas when he was just three years old, where his father owned a Buick dealership, that Kobach worked at while in high school. In 1984, Kobach graduated from Washburn Rural High School in Topeka, Kansas, where he was co- valedictorian, and the student body class president. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Government from Harvard University, graduating summa cum laude and first in his department. The director of Harvard’s Center for International Affairs, Professor Samuel P. Huntington, was Kobach’s faculty advisor from 1984 to 1988. Huntington believed that migration, especially from Mexico and Latin America, represented the most perilous threat to what he called the “American identity.” When Kobach taught law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Huntington’s writings were required reading in the course. From Harvard, Kobach went on to earn an M.A. and D.Phil. in Politics at the University of Oxford, having been granted a Marshall Scholarship. Returning to the U.S., he earned a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1995, and became an editor of the Yale Law Journal. During this time, Kobach published two books: The Referendum: Direct Democracy in Switzerland (Dartmouth, 1994), and Political Capital: The Motives, Tactics, and Goals of Politicized Businesses in South Africa (University Press of America, 1990).

Kobach won a seat on the Overland Park City Council, in April 1999. Following the September 11 attacks, Kobach helped construct a program that mandated that men from 24 predominantly Muslim countries and North Korea be fingerprinted, photographed and questioned at government offices. Of the 83,000 plus men who did so, the government moved to deport 13,740 of them for immigration violations.
