Kansas GOP seeks to make state model for nation
Kansas Republicans said Thursday they want to make the state a model for the nation after several conservative challengers ousted moderate Republican legislators during this week's primary elections.
U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer touted the victories along with more than a dozen GOP candidates who won the party's nomination in state House and Senate races.
Pompeo said that during his first year and a half in office, he has watched what happens in Congress when states are bold by passing state laws eliminating government regulations and revamping tax policies.
"We all gather up in Washington and say, `Why not us too? Why can't we do this? Why can't we behave the way that Wisconsin is behaving, the way Gov. (Bobby) Jindal is doing in Louisiana, the way Gov. (Sam) Brownback and Lt. Gov. Colyer are trying to do here in Kansas?" Pompeo said.
