Thursday a group 50 former Republican legislators from across Kansas — including Iola’s Denise Apt, who had a stellar career in the Kansas House — lambasted Gov. Sam Brownback for endorsing opponents of sitting Republican legislators and sending state officials to campaign against them.

Rochelle Chronister of Neodesha, a former state chairman of the Kansas Republican Party and Assistant Majority Leader in the House, spoke for the group, who call themselves “traditional Republicans.”

“It’s astonishing to see a governor who is more interested in politics than policy, more interested in elections than governing.  Gov. Brownback may want a rubber stamp majority in the Legislature, but I think Kansans will have something to say about that on election day. Kansans want their elected officials to do what’s best for their communities, their schools, the elderly and their children,” she said.
