Governor Kelly Releases Statement on Attorney General’s Call for Special Session
TOPEKA – Today, Governor Laura Kelly issued the statement below in response to Attorney General Kobach calling on the Kansas Legislature to convene a special legislative session.
“Republican legislative leaders’ efforts to call a special session for mid-decade redistricting have so far proven to be unpopular. And rightfully so, as Kansans know this is neither the right approach nor the right time. Now, Attorney General Kobach is manufacturing false urgency to apply pressure to legislators who have not committed to supporting a special session for redistricting purposes. If need be, this issue could easily be addressed when legislators are routinely scheduled to be in session rather than wasting more than $100,000 in taxpayer dollars. This is simply more political theater.”
