“Former Rep. Steve Watkins (R-KS) is back in the U.S. Capitol, this time as a lobbyist,” the Kansas City Star reports.
“It is not uncommon for former members to become lobbyists… It’s more unusual when the former member served for only one-term after losing a primary while shrouded in allegations of voter fraud.
”“Watkins, a scandal magnet from the time he launched his campaign, entered a diversion agreement on three felony charges for voting in the wrong city council race in Topeka’s 2019 municipal election shortly after leaving office.”
