Kansas Race Recap: Who’s Leading? | Topeka News

Kansas politics is heating up with high-stakes races across the ballot. In the attorney general rematch, Republican Kris Kobach faces Democrat Chris Mann—whose campaign has outraised him by more than 4 to 1. For secretary of state, former Rep. Jennifer Day edges out Rep. Pat Proctor in a tight race, despite Proctor’s cash lead. The insurance commissioner battle pits GOP House Speaker Dan Hawkins against Democratic Senate Minority Leader Dinah Sykes, both flush with funds but Hawkins holding the edge. Incumbent State Treasurer Steven Johnson looks to hold off Democrat Juan Luengo with a commanding financial advantage. Meanwhile, the State Board of Education sees a full overhaul—with five seats open and no incumbents running—amid fierce debates over cell phone bans and school funding. Libertarian candidates? Not even bothering to spend or raise a thousand dollars. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
