Kansas State Rep. Stan Frownfelter, the incumbent senior Democrat defeated by @Aaron4KS37 in the primary, voted to criminalize second trimester abortions, also voted for resolutions supporting the Keystone XL & calling on Congress to remove EPA's power to act on climate change.
Frownfelter's pitch to voters was to reelect him because he is "one of the largest fundraisers for the Kansas Democratic Party." Its true, he raised nearly $50,000 -- almost entirely from corporate PACs representing real estate, utilities, construction, etc.
But his disclosures show little money going to other Democrats. The Kansas Ethics Commission says politicians may not spend campaign funds on personal use. Frownfelter's campaign purchased a $2k laptop, spends around $2k a year on Frownfelter's personal internet & phone bills.
One of the anti-EPA bills backed by Rep. Frownfelter was a copy and paste model bill from ALEC alec.org/model-policy/r… kslegislature.org/li_2012/b2011_…
Rep. Frownfelter voted for Koch Industries-backed legislation, SB 91, to remove the mandatory 20 percent renewable energy standard in Kansas, and increase property taxes on wind energy. kslegislature.org/li_2016/b2015_…
The American Conservative Union, the group that hosts CPAC, gave Rep. Frownfelter, a member of the Kansas House Democratic legislative leadership, its highest score for any Democrat in the legislature acuratings.conservative.org/wp-content/upl…
I figure there aren't many pictures of Kansas state leg leaders, but telling that many of the images of Rep. Frownfelter -- who raised $50k but didn't bother to re-register his campaign domain -- are pics of him golfing with lobbyists and other legislators labormanagementkc.typepad.com/photos/2013_go…
