Former Gov. John Carlin will be among the Democrats leading efforts to support Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in the Sunflower State.

The Clinton campaigned unveiled its Kansas Leadership Council, a group of 33 prominent Democrats who will head up grassroots efforts in support of the former U.S. secretary of state’s presidential bid ahead of the March 5 caucus.

“Since day 1 of her campaign, Hillary Clinton has been laying out bold policy proposals like her comprehensive infrastructure plan that will create good-paying jobs and meet a real need,” Carlin said in a statement released by the campaign. “Hillary is the candidate we need as our next president, and I’m ready to help lead her efforts in Kansas.”

.....................

Bridges touted Clinton’s support of paid family leave, equal pay for women and women’s access to health care, calling Clinton a leader who will “bring women’s rights into the 21st century.”

Another Wichitan on the council is Julie Burkhart, the founder and CEO of Trust Women Foundation, which operates the South Wind Women’s Center, the only clinic that provides abortions in Wichita.
...........................

There will be 37 delegates up for grabs when the Democrats hold their caucus in Kansas. It will require at least 2,382 delegates to win the party’s nomination.

Former Kansas Gov. John Carlin has been named to lead a 30-person "State Leadership Council" for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in Kansas.

“Since day 1 of her campaign, Hillary Clinton has been laying out bold policy proposals like her comprehensive infrastructure plan that will create good-paying jobs and meet a real need,” Carlin said in a statement released by the campaign. “Hillary is the candidate we need as our next president, and I’m ready to help lead her efforts in Kansas.”

.......................................

His main task for the Hillary Clinton campaign will be to secure as many of the state's delegates for her as possible in the March 5 caucuses. In general elections, no Democrat has won Kansas since Lyndon Johnson's landslide election in 1964.

Other members of Clinton's Kansas leadership team include former state Democratic Party chairwoman Joan Wagnon, State Rep. Carolyn Bridges of Wichita, and Steven Wright, chair of the Kansas Democratic Party’s African American Caucus..............
