Insurance commissioner, possible gubernatorial candidate advises responsible spending

Insurance Commissioner Ken Selzer says he would advocate for increasing efficiency and reducing spending as he weighs a run for Kansas governor, a month after lawmakers overrode GOP Gov. Sam Brownback's veto to raise taxes. Selzer, a Leawood Republican and certified public accountant, first told the Kansas City Star he was weighing a gubernatorial run, but he said he hasn't decided whether he'll pursue the nomination.
