With Lynn Jenkins, Kansas Republican representative for district 2 stepping down, Republicans have struggled to find the right voice to represent them. Now, State Senator Steve Fitzgerald has risen up to challenge likely Democratic candidate Paul Davis, a candidate who won this district in vote totals during his 2014 race for governor.
While the announcement of a Republican is certainly no surprise, Steve Fitzgerald survived a state senate contest by roughly 500 votes, and would be seen as ultra-conservative by almost all within the party. In his announcement today, Steve Fitzgerald made the case that if elected, he would protect the Trump agenda and.. stand against the international global warming conspiracy.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Senator Fitzgerald has used interesting phrasing to tackle major issues. In 2016, constituent donated to Planned Parenthood in his honor, which resulted in him issuing tirades on social media and elsewhere, saying Planned Parenthood was “worse than Dachau” the famed Concentration Camp.
Other Republicans have been leary bout jumping into this race. The question is whether or not their is a Republican primary, or if Fitzgerald manages to enter a general election to face a much better known Democratic candidate.
