OLATHE, KS--(Marketwire - January 15, 2008) - Greg Orman, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate
in Kansas, recently launched his official campaign website,
www.voteorman.com, which features Web 2.0 technology and social networking
pages. Supporters can view Orman's stance on important issues from
healthcare to the economy and subscribe to his frequently updated video and
text blogs.
Orman, an Olathe businessman and entrepreneur, filed his Statement of
Candidacy with the Federal Elections Commission in December, making him an
official United States Senate candidate in the 2008 Kansas Election.
Orman said his decision to run was driven by a deep concern for the path
the country is on. "We have serious issues that need to be addressed, but
unfortunately our current leaders in Washington are failing to take the
steps necessary to tackle these difficult issues," said Orman. Watch

Orman founded Environmental Lighting Concepts (ELC) with the mission to
help businesses become more energy efficient. While Orman was at the helm
of ELC, the company installed energy-saving lighting systems that have led
to a cumulative reduction of more than one million tons of emissions --
roughly equivalent to removing 20,000 automobiles from the road forever.

In 1997, Orman moved ELC to Kansas and sold 70 percent of the company to
KLT Energy Services Inc., a subsidiary of Kansas City Power & Light. Orman
agreed to join KLT as an executive focused on new business development.
Since joining KLT and subsequently leading his own company, Denali
Partners, Orman has directly assisted numerous small businesses in their
efforts to grow and compete in the global marketplace. Read Orman's bio:
