Democratic state Rep. Brandon Woodard on Monday announced he will run for the top Democratic post in the Kansas House.

The lawmaker, who ran for the position in 2022 but came up two votes short, will face Democratic Rep. Stephanie Sawyer Clayton of Overland Park for House minority leader.

The winner would replace outgoing state Rep. Vic Miller as minority leader after he ran unsuccessfully for the Kansas Senate this year.

Elected in 2018, Woodard, along with state Rep. Susan Ruiz, was one of the state’s first two LGTBQ legislators elected to the Kansas House. He was just reelected . . .
