Senate OKs appellate judge nominee Kathryn Gardner
The Kansas Senate confirmed former assistant state attorney general Kathryn Gardner to the Court of Appeals in a 31 to 9 vote. Gardner, appointed by Gov. Sam Brownback, had been a law clerk for U.S. District Judge Sam Crow since 2000 after 12 years as a Wichita attorney and two years as an assistant AG. Sen. Jeff King cast the lone GOP no vote, saying she was not sufficiently qualified compared with other nominees.
