Ron Thornburgh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ron Thornburgh is the current Secretary of State of Kansas. He was elected in to his first term in 1994 and was subsequently re-elected in 1998, 2002, and 2006.

In July of 2007, Thornburgh announced his intentions to explore a run for governor of Kansas in 2010 by appointing a state treasurer, which would allow him to begin raising money. ""This is a game in which timing is everything. The time feels right for us right now, in that we've got great support around the state of Kansas," Thornburgh said.
