State Representative John Edmonds, R-Great Bend, announced Thursday that he will not seek re-election to the 112th District seat in the Kansas House of Representatives. Edmonds was first elected to the House in 1994 and has served 16 years, in addition to four years as a member of the Barton County Commission. “Twenty years of service (16 in the House, four on the County Commission) is a longer term than I ever anticipated serving,” Edmonds said.
