Republican presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz will appear this week at campaign events in Kansas.

Rubio’s campaign said the Florida senator will have a Friday afternoon event at Jabara Airport in Wichita. The event would be the day before Kansas Republicans caucus.

Cruz will appear Wednesday at Johnson County Community College, 12345 College Blvd. in Overland Park.

The U.S. senator from Texas’ campaign rally will start at 6:30 p.m. at Yardley Hall, with doors opening at 5:30. Seating is limited for the event, and prospective attendees are encouraged to register ahead of time here.

There is no reserved parking for the event itself. JCCC’s north lot will be closed for the event, with parking in that lot restricted to the Ted Cruz campaign event members. Evening classes will take place as usual.
