Governor Kelly to Run For Reelection

 

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly is running for reelection in 2022.

 

According to Spokeswoman Lauren Fitzgerald, the Democratic governor’s confirmed the plans four days after Kelly announced that Commerce Secretary David Toland also would serve as the state’s next lieutenant governor. Toland will replace Lt. Gov. Lynn Rogers, appointed by Kelly last week to fill a coming vacancy in the state treasurer’s office.

 

Toland was the treasurer for Kelly’s 2018 campaign for governor and is highly regarded by some business leaders. Naming Toland lieutenant governor could position him for a future run for governor and prompted speculation that Kelly might not run again. However, Kelly said during a virtual fundraising event Thursday evening that she would seek another term.
