Politicians denounce Gov. Brownback at Working Kansas Alliance's Labor Day picnic

Politicians and candidates for office gathered Monday at the Working Kansas Alliance’s Labor Day picnic where they recognized the contributions of workers and took aim at Gov. Sam Brownback and President Donald Trump.
