Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius

Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is frequently mentioned as a possible VP running mate for Obama. A blurb from her bio sheet -

Married to husband, Gary, a federal magistrate judge, for 33 years, they have two sons: Ned and John. Both Sebelius boys are products of the Topeka public school system, pre-kindergarten through high school. Ned is a law student, and John is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. Sebelius is the first daughter of a Governor (John Gilligan, Ohio, 1971-1975) in U.S. history to be elected to that same position.

Sebelius issues statement on House action to sustain her veto of SB 148

The following statement is from Governor Kathleen Sebelius:

“This is good news for Kansas.

“We are at a critical period for energy policy in this state and this country. We must bridge the gap between our growing energy needs, and the time when carbon capturing technology is a commercial reality. We must move forward strategically – steering our state clear of the environmental, health and economic risks of massive new carbon emissions.

“I urge the Legislature to work with me on a new comprehensive energy policy – one that truly serves the needs of entire state – East and West.

“Meanwhile, I am still ready and willing to work with all of the energy producers in Kansas to find that common ground on which true progress can be built.”

Its not much of a statement but it does show that she has knowledge of the energy crisis and she apparently supports a policy that is environmentally friendly. Her views on energy matters are seen as progressive.

Should Obama Pick Sebelius as VP?
