Former Republican A.G. backs Democrat in race - 2nd in less than a week

[Mabus]

Topeka — For the second time this week, a high-profile Republican former attorney general has come out against incumbent Republican Phill Kline.

On Friday, former Atty. Gen. Carla Stovall Steckline endorsed Democrat Paul Morrison and leveled a barrage of criticism against Kline.

“I think the sacred trust of the attorney general’s office given to the incumbent has been violated,” Steckline said of Kline.

Steckline backed Morrison, saying the longtime Johnson County district attorney “has the right priorities and will not misuse the trust of the office.”
