TOPEKA — The Kansas Republican Assembly today commented on the announcement that Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh is resigning on February 15.
“Soon-to-be-former Secretary of State Thornburgh spent the last two weeks telling fellow Republicans who we should nominate to replace him, then turned around and, with 7 days notice, handed the office to the Democrats for the last year of his term,” said KRA President Don Small. “Republicans and Democrats alike are scratching their heads over what motivated him to make this move right now. He’s taking advantage of relationships built with a firm that has a business relationship with his current office and will now use that to gain personally, while not finishing the job Kansans elected him to do.”
Small continued, “We look forward to electing Kris Kobach as Kansas Secretary of State and seeing him implement reforms that are needed to ensure the integrity of our elections, as well as overseeing the many other duties of this office.”
