Former University of Kansas basketball player Matt Kleinmann filed Monday morning to run for the 2nd District Congressional seat now held by Republican U.S. Rep. Jake LaTurner.
Kleinmann is seeking a seat that was reconfigured when election boundaries were redrawn in 2022 to make the district more Republican-leaning when Lawrence was moved from the 2nd District into the 1st District.
So far, he's the only Democrat to file. Three Republicans - Derek Schmidt, Jeff Kahrs and Shawn Tiffany - are running for the Republican Party nomination for the seat.
LaTurner, first elected to Congress in 2020, is not running . . .
