Three Kansas lawmakers abandon Republican Party, become Dems
Hmmmmmmm. What could it mean?
Kansas Sen. Dinah Sykes and Rep. Stephanie Clayton served notice Wednesday of a decision to politically re-brand themselves by leaving the Republican Party to represent a Johnson County district as a Democrat.
Sykes, a Lenexa resident elected to the Senate in 2016, said she was motivated by the GOP’s approach on key issues and concerns about a party led by President Donald Trump.
The article added that we may yet see a fourth Kansas lawmaker make the same transition: “Another Republican in the House, Rep. Joy Koesten, of Leawood, said she also was giving consideration to switching her affiliation.”
