A physician, Lakin worked as the medical director of a private clinic when he was elected to the state legislature in the 2016 elections. He won the Republican primary election, 64% to 36%, and faced no opposition in the general election.[2][3] A year after he took office, Lakin resigned his seat after he was appointed by Kansas Governor Sam Brownback as Chief Medical Officer of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.[4] Local Republican officials chose Emil Bergquist to replace him.
