TOPEKA, KS—As of Tuesday, Topeka mayor William Bunten, 74, is the nation’s highest-ranking Republican official not facing indictment or public reprimand. “I have always prided myself on running a clean campaign, a clean office, and cleaning house when necessary,” Bunten said. “However, I have no comment on the charges facing my party’s leadership, fundraising apparatus, known associates, or advisory staff.” Bunten is the highest-ranked non-indicted Republican since 1974, when Hansen County, SD schoolboard secretary Cal Albright was forced to stand in as the president of the United States for two years.
