Kansas will have back-to-back women governors after Democrat Cindy Holscher wins tight race
The 19th reports that Democrat Cindy Holscher defeated Republican Ty Masterson in a Kansas governor's race not called until the Thursday after Election Day, making her the state's second woman Democratic governor in a row as she replaces term-limited Laura Kelly. Holscher, who campaigned on lowering costs, Medicaid expansion, and affordable college, says Republicans have helped elect her in every race she has won, and Methodist pastor Adam Hamilton also broke a nearly century-long Republican hold on Kansas Senate seats.
