Watkins confident as underdog
By DAN TORCHIA Staff Writer
Dan Watkins is something of a political giant killer.
As Gov. John Carlin's campaign manager in 1978, he guided Carln to an upset victory over incumbent Robert Bennett.
This year, for the Democratic candidate for the 3rd District congressional seat he is challenging, Mr. Wein, the seven-term Congressman.
Watkins, a Lawrence resident and a graduate of the KU Law School, defeated Jack Weyfort of Shawnee in November, allowing the right to face Winn in November.
WINN, WHO WAS unopposed in the primary, has the advantage and momentum of an incumbent. He has a financial contact with an organization and many financial contacts.
He ran unopposed in 1978 and hasn't been challenged seriously since 1970, when he faced Jim DeCorsey. Winn won by about 9,800 votes.
Still, despite the problems a
Democrat impatience to work with
situations in the Pennsylvania Reporter 3rd
District, Watkins and Kathy Hoggard,
his campaign coordinator, said
yesterday they were confident of a
victory.
"I think we came out of the primary to believe that." "We know the real battle lies ahead."
She said that Watkins needed to raise about $150,000 for the campaign and that they had no remaining funds after his death. Winn has raised about $100,000 no far.
"We will be going door to door, talking to people and making them aware of Larry Winn's lackluster record." she said.
Watkins said, "Most people recognize his name but they can't identify it with anything. There isn't a list of accomplishments."
IN THE PRIMARY campaign, Watkins, 32, denounced Winn an an ineffective representative with a low attendance record. Congress, he said, had not passed any major legislation in support by Winn during his seven terms.
"I think there are aspects that need to be defended by him if they can be," Watkins said. "I think voters need an accurate picture of what he has done."
Mike Lintecum, Winn's campaign coordinator, disagreed with Watkins.
"His record has been completely distorted," Lintecum said. "His record is one he is proud of."
Watkins' victory over Weyford reflected his influence in the Democratic party. He had strong support of Democratic leaders because of his work in the party and in state government.
BEFORE BECOMING Carlin's campaign manager, he was the executive director of the Kansas Democratic party. After Carlin's inauguration, Watkins became his administrative assistant.
He held the position until he resigned
Joliet to run for the Democratic
nomination.
Watkins won in every county in the 3rd District and captured 94 percent of the vote in Douglas County. He was also the highest count in the entire district, Hoggard said.
"We passed some literature out at the Douglas County Fair," she said. "A lot of people took it, accepted it. Even those they didn't know about him, they were ready to about him."
