WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) -- A disagreement between some Wichita-area elected officials led to a heated argument recorded on video, and one state lawmaker being pushed to the ground as he tried to break it up. The Wichita City Council and Sedgwick County Commission went to Topeka Wednesday to meet with Wichita-area state representatives and senators and attend the South-Central Legislative Delegation Reception. During the get-together at The Celtic Fox, Wichita City Council member Brandon Johnson and Kansas Representative Ford Carr got into a heated exchange. They began shouting at each other. Other leaders tried to calm them, but the shouting continued until they both got up. At that point, County Commissioner Ryan Baty and Kansas Representative Henry Helgerson got between them and tried to keep them apart. A video shared anonymously with KSN shows Carr pushing Helgerson aside. Helgerson can be seen falling into a table, and you can hear glass breaking.

Helgerson got up and tried calming the men down, but the shouting continued. A recording of the incident begins with the shouting. It includes many curse words shouted between Carr and Johnson. The video lasts about two and a half minutes and ends with the men walking away from each other. KSN News contacted both Johnson and Carr. Carr plans to talk to KSN this evening. Johnson sent a written response: I'm not going to speak about the incident in Topeka. That event will be properly investigated, and the video, and those present can speak to the specifics of what happened and by whom. I don't want that incident to in anyway distract from the genuine, positive efforts and progress we're making to for residents to address the vitally needed testing and remediation at the 29th and Grove neighborhoods." Brandon Johnson, Wichita City Council District 1 Johnson refers to the 29th and Grove neighborhood, which was the site of a chemical leak at the Union Pacific Railyard decades ago. The leak contaminated the groundwater. Both Carr and Johnson represent the area. Carr has been critical of how long it has taken city and county leaders to come up with matching funds to help with cancer screenings for area residents. KSNT contacted Helgerson about what happened. "I had one too many Pepsi's and I slipped," he said. "I am friends with both Brandon Johnson and Ford Carr, and we have a lot of work to do in Topeka." Because Carr is a Democrat, KSNT also contacted Democrat Minority Leader Representative Brandon Woodard. "We are taking this matter seriously and are committed to resolving it," he said in a statement. "Our focus remains serving the people of Kansas and advancing policies that meet their needs.”  The mood Wednesday night was much lighter in a photo of some of the leaders shared on the Sedgwick County Facebook page.
