Mark and Troy – the accidental Governor and Lieutenant Governor? From LJWorld:
Gov. Mark Parkinson on Thursday picked his chief of staff, Troy Findley, a former Lawrence legislator, to be lieutenant governor. Findley immediately put the Kansas political world on notice that he won’t run for office in 2010.
The decision may put Democrats further in the hole for the next election cycle. Parkinson, who became governor a little more than two weeks ago when former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius was confirmed as secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, also has rejected calls to run for governor in 2010.
