WASHINGTON — On the night Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed the Kansas Legislature’s congressional map, the lawmaker most likely to be affected, Rep. Sharice Davids, didn’t have much to say publicly.
“Rep. Davids is focused on her work in Congress to lower costs for Kansas families and represent the people of the 3rd District, and she supports a fair redistricting process in which all Kansans have their voices heard and heeded,” her campaign spokeswoman, Ellie Turner, said.
It’s a line her campaign has repeated throughout the redistricting process, an attempt to appear above the contentious debate in Topeka, where the Legislature narrowly voted Wednesday to override Kelly’s veto.
