Kline decides to seek full term

UPDATE 10:30 p.m.: Here's a video of Kline's announcement.

Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline announced tonight that he will seek a full temr.

Kline told a gathering of supporters in Olathe that he will file Tuesday as a candidate in the county Republican primary.

Kline became the county’s district attorney in January 2007 after the county Republican Party’s precinct leaders elected him to complete Paul Morrison’s term. He said in September that he wouldn’t seek the office this year. But last month, he said he was reconsidering and might run after all.

Several groups that oppose abortion have urged him to run. They fear Kline’s prosecution of Planned Parenthood won’t be completed by the time his current term expires in January.

Already in the race are Republican Steve Howe and Democrat Rick Guinn. The filing deadline for the party primary is noon Tuesday.
