Kansas Democratic state Sen. Cindy Holscher wins the party’s gubernatorial nomination, defeating Ethan Corson in the primary race to replace Gov. Laura Kelly. Multiple outlets report Holscher’s victory is projected or indicated by preliminary results from Decision Desk HQ. The contest features a relatively narrow set of Democratic candidates, with Holscher running against Corson and other figures in the field, including Overland Park Mayor Curt Skoog, according to one report. Corson had support from Gov. Laura Kelly, while Holscher competes as another Democratic lawmaker seeking the nomination. The results mean Holscher is set to be the Democratic nominee for the governor’s race following Kelly’s tenure, as Kansas Democrats choose their candidate through the primary process. Both sources describe Holscher’s win as coming despite the incumbent governor’s endorsement of her opponent, framing the contest as a primary challenge between Democrats within the party. Holscher’s nomination positions her for the general election against the eventual Republican nominee.
