If Kansas megachurch pastor and Democratic nominee Adam Hamilton manages to pull off an upset in his race for a Senate seat, he’d join a very small group. In the past 100 years, only incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock of Georgia has accomplished what Hamilton aspires to do: serve in the Senate while remaining active in leading his congregation.
