Statewide Kansas races draw little overt interest
John D. Montgomery notes that Kansas statewide offices besides the governor show muted campaigns. Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh seeks a second term with no primary opposition, and Democrat Don Rezac will challenge in November. Treasurers, AG Carla Stovall and Insurance Commissioner Kathleen Sebelius are favored to win re election with limited intraparty competition. The AG field pits Dan Lykins against Fred Phelps Jr. for the Democrat nomination. Insurance race options are Dan Martinez and Bryan Riley with Sebelius expected to win. Last dates for letters to the editor are July 30 and Aug. 1 for publication.
