Republican voters in Kansas have chosen their nominee for the governor’s race. Ty Masterson will face the Democratic nominee in the November 3 general election to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly.
Primary Overview
The Republican field featured several well-known statewide and legislative leaders, including Secretary of State Scott Schwab, Senate President Ty Masterson, and Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt. On the Democratic side, voters are choosing among state senators Ethan Corson and Cindy Holscher and Overland Park Mayor Curt Skoog.
The campaign centered on conservative priorities, including tax relief, education, immigration, public safety, and cultural issues. The primary also coincided with a closely watched constitutional amendment that would replace Kansas’ current system of appointing Supreme Court justices with direct elections.
