Kansas governor race, deadly U.S. 71 crash, Leawood investigation: Top KC stories

From the too-close-to-call Kansas governor race to a deadly crash on U.S. 71 , here’s a roundup of what’s making news in the Kansas City region. These are the top stories from The Kansas City Star: Johnson County began a mandated post-election audit Monday as the Kansas governor race between Democrat Cindy Holscher and Republican Ty Masterson remains too close to call, separated by just under 8,000 votes. Kansas and Alaska are the only two states where the 2026 governor race has not yet been decided, with a Nov. 16 deadline to complete the audit. A Washington state mother and her two young sons were killed when a semitractor-trailer failed to stop for congested traffic and struck their minivan on U.S. 71 Monday afternoon as the family drove to the airport. Olga Sorbalo, 35, and sons Luis, 8, and Samir, 4, of Vancouver, Washington, were identified by relatives, and a GoFundMe raised more than $86,000 in 14 hours. President Donald Trump has nominated former Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer as ambassador to the United Arab Emirates , five months after Colyer dropped his bid for governor following Trump’s endorsement of Ty Masterson. Republican U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran congratulated Colyer and vowed

Latest on Kansas governor race, Chiefs pick builders for new stadium: Top KC stories

From an uncalled Kansas governor race to Sen. Josh Hawley’s post-midterm positioning, here’s a roundup of what’s making news in the Kansas City region. These are the top stories from The Kansas City Star: Democrat Cindy Holscher’s lead over Republican Ty Masterson has grown to 7,644 votes in the uncalled Kansas governor race, with 73 of 105 counties having completed the hand-count audits required when a margin is under one percentage point. All close-race audits must wrap up by Monday, Nov. 16 , before county canvasses review provisional ballots. After Republicans lost control of the House and Senate in the midterms, Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley is pitching a working-class GOP vision focused on social programs and skepticism of corporate power. Critics note his voting record often conflicts with the rhetoric — he warned against Medicaid cuts for months, then voted for Trump’s bill containing nearly $1 trillion in such cuts. The Kansas City Chiefs have named Clark Construction Group and AECOM as joint venture partners on their future stadium in Wyandotte County. The 70,000-seat domed facility is planned near the Legends and Kansas Speedway, with sitework set to begin in 2027 and the stadium expected to open in 2031. Holscher,
