Though she has never held elective office, Docking's name carries weight in Kansas politics--husband Thomas was Lieutenant Governor in the mid-1980s, and both her father-in-law and grandfather-in-law served as Governor. A moderate Democrat--her pro-choice views may give G.O.P. moderates a safe haven from staunchly antiabortion opponent Sam Brownback--she wants to cut federal spending gradually and has a detailed plan for saving Social Security...
...Salina mayor Divine now works as the local government-marketing executive for IBM.

His support for NAFTA and GATT isn't surprising in a district that includes Exxon's Baton Rouge manufacturing complex, home of the nation's second-largest chemical-manufacturing facility...
