GOP donor Owen seeks return of $16,000 to Kansas GOP
Dave Owen, longtime Kansas Republican fund raiser, asks the state party to return $16,000 donated in 1986, arguing the money was given in good faith for Gov. Hayden’s campaign. He cites Hayden campaign refunds and criticizes party chair Rochelle Chronister’s statements while noting ongoing investigations into alleged improper 1986 contributions. The party maintains the funds were spent in 1986 and will not be returned.
