Her announcement came hours ahead of Obama's rally in El Dorado, the hometown of his grandfather on his mother's side. And one week from today are the Kansas caucuses, which are part of the Super Tuesday contests.
Democratic presidential candidates long had sought Sebelius' backing in a state that George W. Bush carried by large margins in the 2000 and 2004 elections.
Her endorsement has been rumored for weeks but she had said she wouldn't make announce it until after giving the Democrats' response to President Bush's State of the Union Address.
Sebelius said her two "20-something" sons and 86-year-old father, former Ohio Governor John Gilligan, were already backing Obama.
Sebelius said Obama had the ability to bridge generations for the betterment of the country.
It's official
