Douglas County District 2 candidates Thellman and Male differ on economic development focus. Thellman pursues broad county role including tourism, heritage projects, and high tech jobs while Male pushes for core services and traditional primary jobs like manufacturing. Both reside in rural Douglas County and hold local ties.
Nancy Thellman is a Douglas County commissioner, married to Scott with three children. A First Presbyterian Church member in Lawrence, she earned a BS in nursing from Kansas University in 1980 and a Master of Divinity from Vanderbilt in 1990. Her career includes pastoring roles at First Presbyterian and Plymouth Congregational Church. She emphasizes diverse job growth across factory, high tech bioscience, agricultural, and tourism sectors.
Frank Male and Thellman discuss industrial development along the I-70 corridor near Lawrence, with views on airport area restrictions and island annexation. They debate funding for the Lawrence Community Shelter, county spending, and plans to attract bioscience and other jobs while balancing growth and infrastructure needs.
Mah warned income tax cuts could force local districts to raise property taxes as state funding shrinks. Corbet urged careful budgeting and fiscal restraint, stressing personal stewardship. Corbet backs NRA endorsement and pro life views while Mah supports pro choice in abortion policy.
The defense candidate vows to end wars and would not act on Iran if it develops nuclear weapons. In money matters Jenkins leads with $1.76 million raised and $14 million on hand by September end, while Schlingensiepen reports $154,000 raised and Hawver has no expenses. The prior split between the 2nd and 3rd districts changes after three federal judges redraw the maps following legislative failure.
Tobias Schlingensiepen-D, 48, pastor, is married to Abigail and has eight children aged 10 to 31. He holds a BA from Kansas University and a master’s-level degree from Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. He serves as senior minister on leave at First Congregational Church Topeka and volunteers as a police chaplain and community organizer, advocating to keep the Kansas Neurological Institute open. He states that the nation is strong despite a bad economy and calls for better priorities to create jobs and protect vulnerable populations.
In the district the Democratic registration rose somewhat while Republicans still maintain about a 10 point lead. Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785 423 0668 for comment or details.

Her education includes an associate of arts from Kansas State University and a Bachelor of Science in accounting from Weber State College. Her career includes roles as state treasurer, and service in the state House and state Senate. She advocates returning decision making to the people and limiting federal overreach.
A constitutional amendment on the November ballot would let Kansas residents decide if property taxes on boats should be lowered to align with Midwest norms. Proponents say current taxes, 30 percent of boat value times county mill, are far higher than neighboring states, triggering out-of-state registrations and lost revenue.
Dennis Hawver-L age 69 is a law graduate from Washburn University and Vietnam era veteran who served in the U S Air Force. He has run for governor twice and previously for Congress while describing a philosophy of self responsibility from food procurement to medical care with Jolayne as his wife and a son and daughter.
