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.
