LeDoux says, despite his long hospital stay, he's been watching the action-or lack thereof, as he puts it-of the Kansas Legislature(Play Audio :16 seconds)

LeDoux, who was appointed to the 50th House District seat, is challenged in his bid for election by two fellow Republicans, Holton businessman Dan Brenner and Soldier physician Doctor David Allen.
