Carolyn McGinn (born January 27, 1959) is a Republican member of the Kansas Senate, representing the 31st district since 2005. She used to be a Commissioner on the Sedgwick County Commission.[1]
McGinn serves on these legislative committees[2]
Some of the top contributors to McGinn's 2008 campaign, according to OpenSecrets, were:[3]
Kansas Republican Senatorial Committee, Kansas Department of Administration, Koch Industries, Kansas Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Kansas Optometric Association
Energy & natural resources interests were her largest donor group.
In 2012, seven of eight moderate state senate Republicans were successfully targeted by the Koch brothers and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, with only McGinn escaping defeat in the Republican primary. That gave incumbent Governor Sam Brownback the margin he needed to effectively restructure state taxation, exempting "S" status filers such as Koch Industries from income taxes.[4] [5] [6]
