Jake LaTurner files to run for Kansas congressional seat
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas State Treasurer Jake LaTurner filed to run for the Kansas 2nd Congressional district seat as a Republican on Monday. The announcement sets up a party primary battle between LaTurner and incumbent Rep. Steve Watkins, who was first elected to the seat in 2018.
Nah. We want Watkins, even though that man don't climb mountains!
ReplyDeleteWell, Jake has name recognition.
ReplyDeleteHe used Kansas taxpayer money to run TV ads for the last 2 years, featuring his family, under the guise of promoting American Century's Kansas Learning Quest 529 college fund accounts.
I knew those ads were a scam to self promote himself for another campaign.
