(MSC News)--A Kansas Democrat announces his candidacy for Congress.

Former State lawmaker Paul Davis Tuesday announced his candidacy for the 2nd District Congressional seat.

The announcement comes as Davis has been touring the state, previously saying he was exploring the run for the seat currently held by Republican Lynn Jenkins, who plans to leave public office once her term ends.

Two Republicans have already filed to seek election to the seat, Senator Steve Fitzgerald, of Leavenworth and Basehor City Council member Vernon Fields.

Davis, in a press release issued Tuesday, stated that “Changing the system is the key to giving the people back their voice and restoring accountability to Congress.”

The lifelong Kansan in 2014 ran unsuccessfully against Kansas Governor Sam Brownback in seeking that role.

The 2nd District of Kansas includes such local counties as Atchison, Brown, Doniphan, Jackson, Jefferson, and Leavenworth.

It also includes a portion of Marshall County.
