The number of high-profile Republicans endorsing Democrat Paul Davis for governor is now down to 103.

Former U.S. Rep. Jan Meyers told the Kansas City Star Thursday that while she did agree to join the group Republicans for Kansas Values, she did not intend for that to be taken as an endorsement of Davis.

“If I endorsed anyone, it would be Sam Brownback because he’s our Republican candidate,” Meyers was quoted as saying.

On Tuesday, the Davis campaign held a news conference announcing endorsements from 104 Republicans, mostly former public officeholders, who had formed the group Republicans for Kansas Values.

But the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission lists no registration of a political action committee by that name. Davis campaign spokesman Chris Pumpelly said Thursday that the group was organized by former state Sen. Wint Winter Jr., of Lawrence, but that the Davis campaign actually paid for Tuesday’s media event and distribution of the news releases.

Meyers’ name has since been removed from that list. And an online version of the press release has been amended to reflect that it was paid for by the Davis campaign.

Meyers, now 85, is known as a moderate Republican. She represented northeast Kansas in Congress from 1985 to 1997. Before that, she served 12 years in the Kansas Senate and five years on the Overland Park City Council. In 1978, she ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate but was defeated in the GOP primary by Nancy Landon Kassebaum.
