Johnson County electing 11 new Democrat lawmakers ends a Republican supermajority

Johnson County voters could send nearly a dozen new Democratic lawmakers to the Kansas House, helping reshape the Legislature and break up a Republican supermajority. Kansas Democrats needed to gain five seats in the House to end the Republican stranglehold on the chamber. They gained those seats and much more in Johnson County. The tidal wave of votes for Democratic candidates in the suburban Kansas City county drove a historic night for the political party, which saw its first candidate elected to the U.S. Senate in nearly a century. The county’s voters flipped 11 of the 20 state legislative seats expected to switch from Republican to Democratic control once vote totals are finalized. Democrats are now expected to hold 25 of the county’s 27 seats in the Kansas House. Several of those races came down to the wire and may not be fully decided until all mail ballots are counted this week. But the outcome shows that Johnson County’s voters practically single-handedly ended the Republican supermajority. The walloping of Republican candidates reflected a motivated electorate. Johnson County saw its second-highest turnout for a midterm election in history, with 62% of registered voters casting ballots. The only midterm with a higher

Paul Rudd, Overland Park get a shout-out when CNN announces Adam Hamilton victory

Welp, we did not have “Paul Rudd” on our election night bingo card. But the “Ant-Man” actor scored a surprise shout-out as Jake Tapper on CNN announced that Adam Hamilton defeated Kansas Senator Roger Marshall in a shocking win Tuesday. Tapper threw the live coverage to Hamilton headquarters in Overland Park, “the home of Paul Rudd,” he said. Rudd, born in New Jersey, spent much of his childhood in Johnson County then studied theater at the University of Kansas. And Tapper would know that because the CNN anchor is a regular celebrity guest at Big Slick, the annual Children’s Mercy fundraiser that Rudd co-hosts. In October, Rudd co-hosted a get-out-the-vote event in New York with “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The event raised money for Latino Victory Project and Onward Together , nonprofit groups that work on voter mobilization and getting people involved in the political process. Jimmy Fallon, Adam Scott and Rita Wilson were among the celebrities who participated.

Johnson County voters led a ‘blue wave' in Kansas, further shifting to the left

Just 10 years ago, Donald Trump headlined a Republican sweep of the federal offices on the ballot in Johnson County. Since then, the suburban Kansas City county’s electorate has continued a yearslong trend of turning the previously purple county solidly blue. As a nationwide “blue wave” led to a hugely successful midterm election for Democratic candidates, Johnson County’s voters spearheaded the shift to the left in Kansas. Along with historically Democratic Wyandotte County, the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro has cemented itself as the political party’s stronghold in Kansas. An easy answer for the ongoing shift would be Republican President Donald Trump’s unpopularity, high gas prices and a war with Iran. But Deann Mitchell, chair for the Johnson County Democratic Party, said years of strategizing campaigns and recruiting pragmatic leaders to represent the party led to the historic election night. “It’s been 10 years of continuous work to turn Johnson County blue,” Mitchell said. At the forefront of the county’s Democratic push was wide support for Leawood pastor Adam Hamilton, who received more votes in the county than any candidate — even more than five-time elected Democratic U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids. Hamilton defeated incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Roger
