Sebelius announces attorney general replacement

Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius announced on Friday that Douglas County District Judge Stephen Six would replace Paul Morrison as attorney general.

Morrison resigned last month after he admitted to a two-year extramarital affair with a former coworker. Morrison will vacate the attorney general position on Jan. 31. Six will immediately assume the position and will serve the rest of Morrison’s three-year term. Six, a democrat, has not yet said whether he will run for reelection in 2010.

Six, a Lawrence resident, graduated from the University of Kansas School of Law in 1993. He worked in various court-related positions in Kansas before Sebelius appointed him to the district court in 2005.

Six also taught at the School of Law in 2006. His wife, Betsy, is still a lecturer there.
