Sebelius appoints Robert Wunsch to
Kansas Lottery Commission

Governor Kathleen Sebelius has appointed former Kansas Representative Robert Wunsch to the Kansas Lottery Commission to serve a four-year term, succeeding Michael Gayoso.

“The Kansas Lottery has provided the resources for economic development projects throughout the state for two decades,” Sebelius said. “This commission will help further its success and continue to bring great games to Kansans.”

Wunsch, Kingman, graduated from the University of Kansas in 1954 and the University of Kansas School of Law in 1958. Having practiced law for over 49 years, Wunsch is currently a partner at Geisert, Wunsch, Watkins & Graffman. Wunsch served in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1983 until 1988 and was chairman of the House Judiciary Committee from 1985 until 1988.

The Kansas Lottery Commission is comprised of five commissioners appointed by the governor to serve alternating four-year terms. The commission consults with and advises the Kansas Lottery’s executive director in establishing policy, approving major contracts, rules and regulations for lottery games and promotions, and approving the annual budget.

Also reappointed to the commission was Joni Franklin Breitenbach.
