Some in the state say the one-term congressman used the UPS store to hide the fact he was living with his parents.

Oh, Republicans and voter fraud. The party’s self-serving obsession with excluding specific Americans from the country’s democratic system because someone, somewhere out thereget the bright idea to commit a crime has always been a political boogeyman. But every once in a while, with no sense of irony, some power-hungry, rules-averse Republican politician goes and proves them right! This time we have first-term GOP Rep.

Watkins’ backstory is hazy, which raised a number of eyebrows during his first run for office in 2018 when he won a crowded Republican primary with 26 percent of the vote. Until then, Watkins was a longtime resident of Alaska before appearing to carpetbag into Kansas to run for office. Watkins does have family connections to the state; he left Kansas after high school, and after 20 years elsewhere, Watkins said the state “was always home in my heart.
