Redistricting plan sparks GOP backlash over Lawrence move
The Kansas Chamber of Commerce and state GOP blasted Republicans who backed a bipartisan map consolidating Lawrence into the 2nd District. Chair Amanda Adkins called it a calculated move to create a Democrat 2nd District, while Lynn Jenkins represents the 2nd. Chamber PAC leader Ivan Crossland said the map hurts Republicans and aids Obama’s agenda, prompting Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley to condemn the comments as out of bounds.
