Kansas State Sen. Mark Steffen (R) “appears to have admitted he traded his vote on the Kansas congressional redistricting map in order to advance a bill that would end a health board investigation into the physician-politician,” the Topeka Capital Journal reports.
“Steffen was one of two Republican senators who switched their vote on the redistricting map veto after the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee fast-tracked the COVID measure in a ‘gut and go’ bill.”
When asked why he switched his vote, Steffen said: “Well, I did that to make some progress on some other fronts. Sometimes that’s the way politics works.”
