Morris lost
Owens lost
Gilstrap lost
Tellefson lost

Maybe the defeated moderates will turn to the KDP. We can hope.

He was majority leader of KS legislature when I lived in Wichita and was active politically. He was a good guy.

I also was there in the Ralph Ross days, when we'd get together at Dem Headquarters for beer and stronger stuff on Friday afternoons.

Do Sedgwick County Dems still have a permanent headquarters and a permanent executive director?

Just wondering. It's been years since I lived there and was able to participate. Those were the days of Democratic governors. Brownback is coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs.
