It’s Election Day in Kansas. Voters will head to the polls to vote for local, state, and federal offices in the mid-term election.
In Kansas a number of key races will be decided, including governor and all four of the state’s U.S. House seats.
Kansas Incumbent Republican Senator Dr. Roger Marshall is facing a challenge from Democrat Rev. Adam Hamilton. The contest is widely classified as a toss-up by major national trackers, including the Cook Political Report and Fox News Power Rankings, breaking a nearly century-old streak of safely Republican U.S. Senate races in Kansas. The last time there was a Democratic U.S. Senator from Kansas was George McGill, who was elected in 1932 and served through January 3, 1939.
Local races include:
Kansas House 69th
- Luci Larson (R)
- Miranda Bachman (D)
Kansas House 71st District
- Steven Howe (R)
- Jerry Lonergan (D)
Kansas House 107th District
- Dawn Wolf (R)
- Cheri Koochel (D)
County Commission District 1
- Sharon Callabresi (R)
- James Bowden (I)
