WICHITA, Kan. (AP) The Kansas Democratic Party has determined that anti-abortion activist Randall Terry is not a bona fide Democrat and won’t be awarded any delegates from the party’s April 14 Kansas caucuses.
Terry, the founder of Operation Rescue, is seeking the Democratic nomination for president. His supporters were setting up Kansas campaign headquarters Wednesday in Wichita.
But Kansas Democratic Party attorney Joe Sandler says the party’s delegate selection rules only recognize candidates who have demonstrated a commitment to the party’s goals and objectives.
He says Terry also missed two state deadlines and submitted his application only days ago.
The state party issued a statement saying Terry’s name won’t be on the caucus ballot.
Terry says he meets legal and party requirements to be a candidate.
