Praeger’s GOP drift as Kansas insurance chief ends public career
Kansas insurance commissioner Sandy Praeger, a longtime Republican ally of Gov. Graves, frames herself as a misfit in a party she helped shape. At 68, finishing her third term, she backs abortion rights, gun control, higher school funding, and Obamacare, while criticizing Brownback’s leadership and GOP rhetoric. She contemplates supporting another governor and notes loneliness in her stance, as party peers question her disconnect from voters.
