Kansas' two-term Democratic governor is mentioned often as a potential member of President-elect Barack Obama's Cabinet.

Sebelius, 60, is a political moderate who was elected governor of this quintessentially Republican state in 2002 and re-elected in 2006 — both times by comfortable margins. On this page, you can use The Wichita Eagle's past coverage — stories and photos — as a briefing on Sebelius.
