This photograph shows Agnes T. Frog with lobbyist at the Kansas statehouse in Topeka, Kansas. The group were lobbying on the highway bill concerning the construction of a bypass in Lawrence, Kansas. In 1971, the State Highway Commission recommended the construction of a bypass around the south edge of Lawrence to reduce traffic in the city. The proposed bypass would run through the 700-acre Haskell-Baker Wetlands, home to hundreds of plant and animal species. Environmentalists strongly opposed the bypass, arguing that it would disrupt the wetland's ecosystem. To stop the construction project the Committee to Elect a True Amphibian (CETA) was formed in 1986 to prevent the re-election of a Douglas County Commissioner who supported the project. A CETA member dressed in the frog costume was endorsed as a write-in candidate, Agnes received almost thirty percent of the vote and garnered national attention. However, in the end, the South Lawrence Trafficway (K-10) was completed and opened to traffic in 2016. In 1995 the Agnes costume was donated to the Kansas State Historical Society.
