Jan 2025

a young man (early 20’s I think) ran for a state house seat in KS. He was a democrat and he was awful. He had harassed and made threats against a young woman he previously dated. I have no idea how he got elected by the people of KS. He also got into fights with his brother and I believe his grandfather after he was in office. He was removed from office before he served out his term-thankfully.
