...rematch that is being watched almost as closely as the Second District race, Maloney will try again to unseat three-term Republican Gary Franks, who beat him in 1994 by only 6%. He has had help from the AFL-CIO, which, in its crusade against anti-labor Republicans, sent an organizer to the Fifth to head a media blitz against the incumbent. In his working-class district, Maloney will concentrate on labor issues: he opposes limiting overtime, and champions quality health insurance and public education...
Despite three decades in the House, the race gets harder for this soft-spoken moderate. Hamilton's opponent, Jean Leising, is the same Republican who almost beat him in 1994. But he has held off the conservative surge by supporting a flat or consumption tax, balanced trade, less government regulation and campaign-finance reform...

A fiscal and social conservative (he's backed by the N.R.A. and Kansas pro-life groups), Snowbarger was known as a tax cutter in the state legislature, and tried to push over $1 billion in state tax cuts during the last legislative session...
