Kansas: Democratic Party Secretary facing recall effort over consulting firm payment

Party Secretary Casey Yingling is facing a recall petition for not recusing herself from voting on giving congressional candidate James Thompson $20,000 -- she is connected to the consulting firm he's using. Petitioners need 35% of the signatures of the executive committee and need a 2/3rds vote to win. Thompson lost his special election race to replace former Congressman and current CIA director Mike Pompeo, though he did much better than expected.
