Tiahrt wins national committeeman race, retains political viability
Steve Kraske. January 30, 2010
Former eight-term Kansas Congressman Todd Tiahrt won election as a GOP state committeeman in a vote today in Topeka.
Tiahrt won election on the first ballot after grabbing exactly 100 votes from the Republican State Committee (90 were needed), according to a tally called into Prime Buzz.
He defeated Kris van Meteren, who grabbed 55 votes and Randy Duncan, who won 24.
Tiahrt, who lost a tough GOP primary race for the U.S. Senate last summer to Jerry Moran, was the pick of new Gov. Sam Brownback.
By winning, Tiahrt keeps his name out front if another political opportunity presents itself (think U.S. Senate) the next few years.
