Gay Rights Group Wants Kansas Lawmaker Off Ballot
A gay rights group that opposes the re-election bid of a conservative Kansas House member is trying to get her removed from the ballot with questions about her residence.
The Kansas Equality Coalition submitted an objection to the secretary of state Thursday to the filing by Democratic Rep. Jan Pauls, of Hutchinson, for re-election. A state board expects to review the objection next week.
Coalition executive director Tom Witt questioned whether Pauls lives at the address she lists – a former church she and her husband are renovating.
Pauls announced she was moving to the former church when political redistricting put the precinct containing her home into another House district. Pauls said she’s receiving mail at the new address.
The coalition has criticized Pauls over her positions on social issues.
Gay rights groups… I’m tired of the media alway promoting what Gay Rights groups want. Who cares what they want? We don’t care if you’re gay. Keep it to yourself.
Conservative Kansas House member is Democratic Rep Jan Pauls……..How can you be a Democrat and be conservative…..doesn’t make sense!
I’m tired of Republicans always promoting what straight white males want.
Leave her on the ballot and let the majority of people in her precinct vote and decide whether they want her there or not. Once again majority rule!
