TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - A Topeka pastor says he plans to challenge U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins for the 2nd Congressional District seat.
Democrat Tobias Schlingensiepen announced Tuesday that he would run against Jenkins, a Republican from Topeka.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports that Schlingensiepen has been pastor of Topeka's First Congregational Church for six years and a police chaplain for 12 years.
Jenkins will be seeking a third term in the House.
The scope of the 2nd district might change after federal judges rule on new redistricting boundaries.
