(KAIR)--Another candidate enters the race for the Kansas House, with John Eplee, MD announcing his candidacy for the 63rd District House of Representatives seat.
Eplee, an Atchison doctor based at the Atchison Hospital, filed for election Tuesday as a Republican.
The seat has long been held by Cummings Democrat Jerry Henry, who has not yet filed for re-election. Another Democrat, W. Brett Neibling, of Highland, is also seeking the seat, having filed last month.
In a press release Wednesday, Eplee said his whole career of Family Medicine in Atchison and Doniphan Counties has prepared him well for what he calls an “exciting opportunity,” adding that he is “looking forward to the election process to represent Atchison and Doniphan voters if elected.”
The press release outlines Eplee's accomplishments in the medical field, as well as his civic service, including serving 8-years on the Recreation Commission and his role on the USD 409 Board of Education, where he is serving his 2nd term.
Candidates have until noon June 1st to file for the August 2nd Kansas Primary Election.
The General Election is set for November 8th.
