Governor Kelly Issues Statement in Response to Attorney General’s Press Conference
TOPEKA – In response to Attorney General Kobach’s press conference on Monday, Governor Laura Kelly issued the following statement:
“Attorney General Kobach and Speaker Hawkins are engaging in what can only be described as low-rent political theater. We learned last week that the Attorney General made vague statements about suing me in Alaska. My Chief of Staff made requests to both the Attorney General and Speaker for meetings to discuss this issue on Friday, and both declined to meet. Now, in a rushed press conference rife with false statements and incorrect law, we learn there is going to be a lawsuit filed. A copy of which my office has yet to receive.
“The Attorney General is known for not doing his homework or placing priority on protecting Kansans’ private data. I have always worked to protect Kansans, especially from federal overreach, and I will continue to do so.”
