Be aware - a phishing email is being sent that falsely claims to be from "Brett Dorton" with Ethics and has a link, ostensibly to a pdf.
This email is NOT from our office. Obviously don't click the link or respond. Make sure others are aware.

Anticipating some questions...
#ksleg is adjourned sine die. Candidates can again accept contributions from businesses, lobbyists, PACs, etc.
If a special session is called, then those contributions are again prohibited while the legislature is in session.
Special sessions make this a little confusing because the regular, annual prohibition is effective from January 2nd through sine die (even though the Legislature doesn't convene until mid-January), while for special sessions it only applies when the legislature is in session.
