A Democrat, he currently serves as the 48th Lieutenant Governor of Kansas, having been appointed by Governor Mark Parkinson on May 14, 2009 and taking office the following day.[1] Findley previously served as chief of staff to Parkinson's predecessor, Kathleen Sebelius and as a member of the Kansas House of Representatives representing part of Douglas County from 1995 until 2003.
