Rep. Steve Watkins, a Republican from Kansas, was charged on July 14 with three felonies and a misdemeanor linked to a probe into whether he voted illegally in a municipal election last year.
The charges, which stem from Watkins registering to vote using the address of a UPS storefront, were announced by Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay on July 14, shortly before Watkins was scheduled to appear in a televised debate with two GOP challengers.
