Help Wanted: Kansas Governor Recruits Staff for State Democratic Party

WFB: Former Employees Have Described A Toxic Workplace.

Democratic Kansas governor Laura Kelly is offering job applicants the chance of a lifetime: the opportunity to work for the state’s Democratic Party under an executive director whom employees have accused of abuse.

Kelly encouraged politically minded Kansans on Thursday to apply for positions with the state Democratic Party, which was recently investigated for toxic workplace conditions. Five former employees accused the party’s executive director Ben Meers of mental abuse and bullying. The party corroborated many of the allegations in an internal probe, but Meers still oversees its day-to-day operations.

Kelly’s recruitment pitch could open her up to allegations of hypocrisy after she said she would not “involve myself” in the party’s internal affairs. “The party has its own leadership, and I’m going to let them deal with that and let them make that determination,” Kelly told reporters this month about the investigation of Meers.

Former party staffer Rachel Hayden said Kelly’s silence meant that she “sides with the abuser.” Hayden alleged Meers had “belittled, mentally abused, and gaslit” her, forcing her to quit her “dream job” and seek treatment in a mental health facility. more

  1. Lawrence Kansas is about 40 miles east of Kansas city. Home of the liberal University of Kansas and the 6th largest city in Kansas at 100,000. They recently redistricted it to more conservative counties with much smaller populations…..Eastern Kansas is certainly purple, but most likely blue…….It can’t go further west then Junction city Kansas as that’s the home of The Big Red One….liberalism ends there….

  2. Funny that this article comes out at the same time the nation’s farmers are facing a Biden-caused fertilizer shortage. I assume their complaints were answered with “piss off” by Joe. This is just media spin to cover for the old fool.
