Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson’s path to reclaiming the governor’s mansion for Republicans almost certainly doesn’t run through Kansas City, Kansas. But the GOP nominee to succeed Gov. Laura Kelly believes he can make inroads in the Democratic stronghold of Wyandotte County. On Friday, Masterson’s campaign rolled out the endorsement of Tyrone Garner , a 30-year veteran of the KCK police department who completed his term as mayor and CEO of the Unified Government in 2025. “I’ve seen firsthand the challenges communities face when it comes to public safety, the cost of living, and creating opportunities for working families,” said Garner, a registered Democrat, in a campaign release. He said Masterson “has a solid plan to grow our economy, deliver meaningful property tax relief, and stand behind the men and women who keep our communities safe. “I also believe we need a governor who will work with local leaders to help take the Quindaro Ruins out of ruin, champion investment in historically disinvested areas of Kansas City, Kansas, and address infrastructure needs that have held neighborhoods back,” said Garner, who opted not to run for re-election. “Our hardworking families deserve the opportunity to share in Kansas’s growth and prosperity.” Masterson,
