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 Im 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 Partys African American Caucus..............
