Paul Rudd[edit]

We need a source to cite on the Paul Rudd reference. --Chrispounds (talk) 13:16, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very amusing that this guy, who lost the election, has an article on Wikipedia, but the guy who won the election is a red link. — Steven Andrew Miller (talk) 05:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article could use an update[edit]

This article states that he was a candidate for the 2010 election in Kansas' 2nd congressional district, but doesn't say the result of the election. I assume he lost, but the article should say so. Robofish (talk) 20:29, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, now I look at the article in more detail, I'm not sure he's notable at all. Unsuccessful political candidates usually aren't unless there's something exceptional about them. Robofish (talk) 20:31, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources removed[edit]

I just did a substantial rewrite and trim of the article. In the process, I removed a number of sources that, while potentially useful, were not actually being used to support anything important. Here they are:

Sullinger, Jim. "Kansas ballots will feature more Democrats this year". The Kansas City Star. June 20, 2008. (Note though that this link is totally inappropriate.)
"The return of Sean Tevis"."The Kansas City Star." June 10, 2010.
"Two Democrats Enter Race for Kansas' 2nd U.S. House District". "Lawrence Journal-World" June 10, 2010.
Carpenter, Tim. "Tevis stingy on campaign detail". The Topeka Capital-Journal. June 22, 2010.

In addition, there was this YouTube link, which maybe someone might want to preserve in the article in some form:

"Sean Tevis: Questions & Answers ". YouTube. June 22, 2010.

Tevis Bill outcome?[edit]

Our sources mention the introduction of the "Tevis bill" in the House, and I was able to find this state website that shows it marked up by the committee, but I wasn't able to find any legislative history for it (did it get a vote, did it pass, is it law?). Can anyone better at this than I am figure it out? --JBL (talk) 12:40, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
