Sen. Jake LaTurner will replace Ron Estes as the Kansas State Treasurer. Gov. Sam Brownback announced the appointment this morning in a brief press conference.
“Jake is a man of character, principle, and integrity, reflecting the values of our great state,” Brownback said.
Republican precinct men and women in Cherokee, Crawford, and southern Bourbon counties will select LaTurner’s replacement, perhaps as soon as April 29, according to a tweet sent from the Kansas GOP.
GOP precinct leaders of Cherokee, Crawford & southern Bourbon Counties will probably meet 29 or 30 Apr to pick new Senator. #ksleg
