Laura Kelly

There's about a 5500 vote differential in that race.

But we've had Laura Kelly, who has done great for Kansas, isn't a very controversial figure and happens to be a Democrat.

So are you less surprised about that race?

Well, a little bit, Dana, because history would suggest a Republican was the favorite.

So that had an impact as well.

So Holscher is a bit of a surprise, but not overwhelmingly so.

Laura Kelly is popular.

She ran a pretty good race, had some money.

He ran a picture-perfect campaign.

But what people didn't really talk about is that Kim Reynolds had really cratered Iowa's economy, was historically unpopular, much like Sam Brownback when Laura Kelly came in as governor of Kansas.

It's just Sam Brownback ran for president and everybody then learned what a terrible job he'd done in Kansas.

Texas, it's amazing.

And then attorney general.

So in 2018, he lost the governor's race to Laura Kelly.

In 2020, he lost the Republican primary for U.S.

Senator to Roger Marshall.

They they're they're replaced.

They were attempting to replace a Republican governor or a Democrat governor, Laura Kelly, who's been serving for the last eight years.

So it's not like this is the kind of surprise that should throw everybody onto the floor.

They do elect Democrats statewide.

I've never seen a race, a campaign so good and on their mark in my history in Kansas politics.

We know Sebelius and Laura Kelly have run some good races.

This one was like a very good presidential campaign.

They were doing rapid reaction during the state fair debate.

That's a tough position for any human being to be in at this point.

Right, and we know Governor Kelly and Cindy Holscher had their differences for sure, but politically wise, they seem to have made up.

They had a big rally the night before the election with Kathleen Sebelius and Laura Kelly.

And so the advantage for Cindy Holscher is having Laura Kelly there, which is when you change parties, Republican to Democrat or vice versa, Usually the other party just wants to say, okay, thank you, get out of here.
