Kansas Sen. David Haley will be seeking re-election to the Kansas Senate.
Haley represents the Fourth District of Kansas and is running again in an effort to help the county, he said in a statement today.
“Four years ago, I promised to work hard to support our local needs in Topeka,” said Haley. “Although it has been a little frustrating watching these new anti-government legislators attempt to obstruct commonsense legislation, I have fought to make our values heard through my continued advocacy for our County.”
