DC: Former Obama cabinet secretary Kathleen Sebelius may be a contender in the race to replace Republican Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts, who announced Friday he’s retiring in 2020.
Sebelius was twice elected governor before former President Barack Obama tapped her to serve as secretary of Health and Human Services in 2009. She resigned in 2014 and currently runs the consulting firm Sebelius Resources following what The New York Times described as a “stormy five-year tenure.”
There are several potential Republican replacements for Roberts. American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp will reportedly run for Senate in Kansas in 2020. Failed 2018 gubernatorial nominee Kris Kobach, a Trump endorsee, is considering a run, reported FOX 4.
Departing Republican Gov. Jeff Colyer, whom Kobach unseated in the gubernatorial primary, may also launch a bid for the seat, according to The Associated Press.
Sebelius, 70, succeeding Roberts, 82, would have a tinge of irony. She reportedly weighed a run against him in 2014 after he called on her to resign because of “gross incompetence” during the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, according to The Times.
The rift was especially harsh because Roberts was an “old friend” of the former cabinet secretary, according to The Times. more
Isn’t there a skin condition named a Sebelius Cyst?
Damn he’s ugly.
Yet another ghoulish retread, good grief!
Old Horseface never met a fetus she liked.

Yes, it’s a persistent and lingering affliction contagious among congress critters and cabinet members that is almost impossible to get rid of. It may disappear for a short time only to reappear again spreading its repugnance for the life of the infected.
Former Obama “CROOKED” cabinet secretary…there fixed it.
Come on people of Kansas! You deserve better representation than this progressive hag.
All the people from Kansas I’ve ever met were Conservatives. Has something changed there? (Okay, I’ve only known two people from Kansas. Kansas is not only fly-over state, it’s a drive-through state. Hang me in 3…2…1…)

*it’s a drive-through state. *
Lol! Yup…and just keep driving, it helps keep the riff-raff out. 😁
Sebellius has fucked up everything she touches, but it’s the democrats in the cities that control the numbers.
From time began, Kansas is and has been conservative…other than a couple of counties. But the Free Shit Army now has numbers.
Sebellius has old name recognitionn, too. Her daddy was a professional politician forever.
“before former President Barack Obama tapped her”
He’s never tapped a Woman in His life…
Applying for a new job at 70. I can understand that if you don’t have a choice of that or being homeless.
But this is just a reach for power.
IS SHE THE ONE WHO TAUGHT US THE PROPER WAY TO SNEEZE AND WIPE??
.45-70 – I promise to keep my riff-raff out. But I do rather enjoy the drive through. I expect to see Dorothy – and her Aunt riding her bicycle.
She must have missed a venue where she could comfortably wear her high leather boots, German field grey uniform, armband and carry her whip…
Jimmy –
People passing through take I-70. (boring) US 36, US 24, or KS 18 get you across the state, too. More personal.
As for Dorothy & Toto…they attract tornadoes. I keep looking for Matt Dillon, Kitty, Festus, and Doc. 😎
And Sir you are?
Cyst,
Sebaceous Cyst,,,
My friends call me Pus.
I’ll have a inflamed Martini, shaken , not stirred
OMG, now Burt Bacharach is joining Bruce Jenner on the Drag Team? What is the world cumming to?
