We the People Request Forfeiture of Office

We the people for the citizens of Sedgwick County of the State of Kansas, petition the Legislative Coordinating Council to direct the Legislative Counsel to bring an action of Quo Warranto, according to K.S.A. 46-1222a (f), for the forfeiture of public office of Sedgwick County District Attorney Nola Foulston for willfully engaging in misconduct while in office, willfully neglecting to perform any duty enjoined upon her by law, and conduct that is considered contrary to community standards of justice and honesty according to K.S.A. 60-1205.

K.S.A 46-1222a (f) When the legislature is not in session, the legislative coordinating council may direct the legislative counsel to bring any action by representing the legislative coordinating council in any court of this state or of the United States in accordance with directions of the legislative coordinating council.

We are petitioning for an election to be held within 60 days for a new Sedgwick County District Attorney due to District Attorney Nola Foulston's misconduct and the misconduct of individuals employed under her direction in the office of the Sedgwick County District Attorney.
