A Wichita man running for the Kansas House of Representatives remains on the ballot in light of his arrest in May on suspicion of marijuana possession and illegal possession of a firearm.

Jim Price, a Republican running against Democratic incumbent Jim Ward says he is not currently campaigning.

Regarding his May arrest, Price says he has not been charged with a crime at this point. He wouldn't comment any further. He says his decision not to be campaign is not just because of the arrest.

Price isn't running the campaign he said he hoped for when he filed to run for the State House of Representatives in Wichita District 86 in the central part of the city.

There are also questions raised about whether Price lives in the district. Campaign documents show his address is in District 86, on South Erie Street. But an address in far east Wichita is also listed under Price's name.

The far east Wichita address on 127th St. E. is where Price was arrested this spring. Wichita Police say a search warrant was executed on May 17 at the home regarding an ongoing drug investigation. The warrant resulted in the seizure of guns, weapons, drugs and drug paraphernalia.

Regarding the two addresses, Price says he owns both properties but did not say which one he lives at full time.

Price also says he's facing health issues, which is a factor for him not currently campaigning. His campaign website and Facebook page are still active and with the general election less than two months away, his name remains on the ballot.

Price ran two other unsuccessful campaigns for the Kansas House in 2014 and 2016. Eyewitness News reached out to the Kansas Republican Party to see if it is backing Price. As of Wednesday afternoon, we have not received a response.
