KS GOP Chairman Jumps Ships, Become Democrat |
By JOHN MILBURN
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - The former chairman of the Kansas Republican Party
jumped ship in a big way Tuesday, switching his affiliation to
Democrat amid speculation that he would become Gov. Kathleen Sebelius'
running mate.
Johnson County Elections Commissioner Brian Newby confirmed that Mark
Parkinson, the state GOP chairman from 1999 to 2003, came to the
office and switched his party affiliation shortly before noon.
Parkinson's name has been widely circulated as Sebelius' choice for a
running mate as the Democratic governor seeks a second term. Current
Lt. Gov. John Moore - another former Republican - is retiring when his
term expires in early 2007.
Sebelius spokeswoman, Nicole Corcoran, would not comment about
Parkinson, but said an announcement of the governor's choice of
running mates was scheduled Wednesday not far from Parkinson's home in
Olathe, a Kansas City suburb.
"Traditionally, you do see that the first stop would be in or around
that person's home base. It would be safe to assume that she would be
choosing someone from the Johnson County area," Corcoran said.
Parkinson didn't immediately return calls seeking comment.
Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison also switched parties
from Republican to Democrat to challenge Attorney General Phill Kline,
a Republican, in the November election.
Republican House Speaker Doug Mays said he was disgusted by
Parkinson's lack of loyalty to the party that made him chairman, but
he isn't surprised by the rift.
The Republican Party, which has dominated Kansas politics since
statehood, has shifted to the right in recent years and it inevitably
will shift back to the left, he said. Instead of defecting to
challenge one another, though, Republicans need to find common ground,
he said.
