Johnson County GOP picks Kline as new DA
Johnson County Republicans select Attorney General Phill Kline as the new district attorney to replace the incumbent who previously ousted him from statewide office. The vote tally was 316 for Kline and 291 for Steve Howe, an assistant DA in the county’s large jurisdiction. Morrison, a former Republican who became a Democrat, leaves two years on his term. Kline will likely take over after his AG term ends. Moderates fear Kline may not retain the office in 2008.
