Pastor Adam Hamilton ousts GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, Democrats' 1st Senate win in Kansas in 94 years

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Adam Hamilton , a Democrat and Methodist megachurch pastor, won a startling upset in Kansas over Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, flipping a seat once believed to be safely red in another example of how far unhappiness with President Donald Trump has spread throughout the nation. Hamilton’s victory was historic for snapping a 94-year losing streak in Senate races for Kansas Democrats — the nation’s longest — and because spending on the campaign was around $110 million, easily a record in low-cost Kansas. Republicans attempted a massive rescue effort for Marshall, including two Trump rallies in the state in October, but weren’t able to save his attempt at a second term. “This is amazing. We really did make history," Hamilton told his supporters. “We're not flyover country. We're the heart of the country.” In his concession speech in Wichita, Marshall said, “I don't have any answers” and promised to “keep fighting for this great nation.” He called serving in the Senate “the great honor of my life.” Hamilton won among the state's moderate voters, with roughly 7 in 10 backing him over Marshall. Marshall only won about one-quarter of this group, down from about 4 in 10

Uptown Treasures takes chance with move to Topeka, impeded by roadwork

Abra Wheeler, owner of Uptown Treasures in Gage Village, moved her home decor and furniture business to Topeka in April 2026 from its previous location in Holton. “I was in Holton for 15 years as Holton Home Decor. I moved to Topeka last September and was driving back and forth. I decided to take the chance,” said Wheeler. Uptown Treasures carries home decor, gifts, antique furniture and clocks, luxury snacks, textiles, kitchenware, candles and wax melts. “Everybody that has come in has been very excited about it,” said Wheeler. “They like having gifting options for birthdays, weddings, and all the things.” She also offers design and decorating services to Uptown Treasures customers. "I do a lot of florals. I get quality florals, and people will bring in a vase or a tray and ask for help filling it with fall or Christmas decor," Wheeler said. "Or they’ll bring in a picture of a wall and say, ‘I want this done.’" Road construction has presented challenge for small businesses While the public response to Uptown Treasures has been overwhelmingly positive, Wheeler said the construction on SW Huntoon Street in Topeka has made it difficult to operate her small business in recent
