Topeka — Democrat Chris Biggs today will announce whether he will seek a rematch against Republican Phill Kline in the 2006 attorney general's race.
Biggs, Kansas securities commissioner, will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. at the Jayhawk Tower.
In the 2002 race for attorney general, Biggs, then Geary County prosecutor and virtually unknown on the statewide political scene, nearly beat Phill Kline, a well-known Republican, in a highly contentious race. Kline won by 4,287 votes out of 821,107 ballots cast.
In 2003, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, appointed Biggs to the securities post.
Kline has already said he intends to run for re-election.
