Brownback shapes 2010 bid for Kansas governor
U.S. Senate Republican Sam Brownback moves toward a 2010 gubernatorial run by naming a campaign treasurer. Kansas Democrats faced uncertainty as Lt. Gov. Mark Parkinson, once a leading candidate, left the GOP to back Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, highlighting party splits between moderates and social conservatives. Dennis McKinney surfaces as a possible Democratic challenger, while Brownback’s high name recognition could fuel a serious bid amid Kansas partisan shifts.
