Congressman Ducks Questions About Resigning

Rep. Steve Watkins (R-KS) “declined to answer news reporters’ questions at a campaign event Thursday amid a flurry of bipartisan speculation his career in Congress could come to an abrupt end after eight months in office,” the Topeka Capital-Journal reports.

“Instead, he bolted into a waiting vehicle and sped away.”

“Republicans in Kansas and Washington, D.C., were pressuring Watkins to step down, but the reason for the possible resignation wasn’t certain.”
