From KansasCity.com:
Gov. Mark Parkinson on Tuesday named fellow Democrat Chris Biggs as Kansas’ new secretary of state.
Biggs replaces Ron Thornburgh, a Republican who resigned last month to take a private-sector job. Biggs will serve for eight months before voters elect a new secretary of state. Biggs is one of several candidates.
Biggs, 51, was the state’s securities commissioner, a position he had held since 2003. He narrowly lost the 2002 attorney general’s race to Phill Kline. A former prosecutor, Biggs served for 14 years as county attorney in Geary County, where he lives.
