Former state Attorney General Phil Kline (not to be confused with our Phil Klein), best known for his abortion-related prosecutions, also lost his bid to be nominated for a full term as Johnson County district attorney. Kline narrowly lost a reelection bid as attorney general in 2006 but has been serving as DA since then.
