Biggs Bests Kline for Kansas Attorney General
The 44 year old Democrat Jake Biggs of Junction City highlights decades of trial and appellate work and hands on criminal justice experience as Geary County prosecutor. Opponent Phill Kline, 42, emphasizes legislative experience and political runs, but has limited prosecutorial background and questions about practice law. Both tout tougher crime penalties, with Biggs stressing restitution and community programs. Biggs argues Kansans need a law enforcer rather than a political climber.
