| Description | Paul Morrison, Johnson County’s Republican district attorney for the last 16 years, is expected to announce today that he is a candidate for Kansas attorney general.
Morrison will switch parties and run as a Democrat, according to a political source who has spoken to Morrison. Two other sources confirmed his decision.
The prospect of Morrison’s entry into the attorney general’s race caught many politicians by surprise.
Running as a Democrat was even more surprising.
“I’m trying to think of when I’ve heard of something like this,” said Kevin Yowell, an Overland Park political consultant. “I don’t know that I’ve ever heard of this around here. It’s not uncommon for a Democrat to switch to Republican. But for an entrenched officeholder to leave the GOP to become a Democrat, I am just stunned.” |
