Schodorf Runs for Secretary of State as Democrat in 2014
Former Kansas Senate GOP leader Jean Schodorf announced a run for secretary of state in 2014 as a Democrat. The Wichita figure, who once served as Senate Majority Whip and lost a 2012 bid, criticized Kris Kobach’s focus on gun rights and voter fraud while highlighting her vote protection stance. Schodorf had shifted parties in January after a 2010 bid for U.S. Representative against Pompeo.
