Kobach PAC mailers go unreported in spending records
Kansan Prairie Fire PAC ran mailers in two Republican primaries this week without reflecting the costs in campaign finance reports. Kobach contends no violations since one mailer required no report and the other two charges were not yet billed. State ethics staff had not seen a last minute filing by Prairie Fire, leaving Jennings asking for investigation if spending isn’t disclosed.
