Consumers will be harmed if Gov. Jeff Colyer wins a lawsuit over whether he can take $8 million this year from a state insurance fund, the Kansas insurance commissioner warns in a new court filing.

The commissioner, Ken Selzer, is running against Colyer in the Republican race for governor.

Selzer seeks a court order to block Colyer from transferring $8 million from an insurance-specific fund into a general fund that pays for the overall operation of state government.
