That was fast. I’d have preferred him to remain. There ought to be a special election called for next November given how early into his term Morrison is resigning. Fair is fair, after all. The only thing I know about Biggs is that he is (was ?) Securities Commissioner and apparently is quite liberal with the state’s money:

State law says the governor appoints a replacement for the remainder of the term.

Well he's still the Securities Commissioner, though I don't know how he can be liberal with the state's money in a position like that. Before that he was the Geary County DA and he also came close to beating Kline in the 2002 AG election. I think that's one of the reasons why his name is being floated.
