While the Kansas governor’s race was still too close to call Saturday morning, Kansas state Sen. and Democrat Cindy Holscher has pitched voters on lowering costs and pushing back against a Republican supermajority. The prospective governor-elect’s platform touched property taxes, public schools, marijuana, farm costs and data center development. Looking back at her campaigns through the August primary and November general election, here are some takeaways: Property taxes In a column written by Holscher for The Star, she pledged to cut the residential property tax assessment rate and add exemptions for seniors and disabled veterans aren’t “taxed out of the homes they’ve spent a lifetime paying for.” Fund public education She also wrote that she would fully fund public schools and special education, so property taxes don’t make up the difference, and end voucher programs that she said drain neighborhood classrooms Legalize marijuana The Overland Park Democrat announced support for legalizing medical and recreational marijuana in July 2026, filming outside a Kansas City dispensary where she said Kansas plates filling the lot represented “a lot of Kansas tax dollars going straight into Missouri’s pockets.” A few days later, speaking to Kansas City Star journalists, Holscher described a decade-long effort on

I’m surprised not only by the fact that my non-political boyfriend actually read the entire transcript of the podcast, but also his follow up:

Great Bend, in its return to Class 4A, defeated Buhler 33-22 on a rainy night in week four of the season. The Crusaders kept things close despite four turnovers. In Friday’s playoff game on the same field, the Buhler offense was nearly perfect. Junior Landon Martinez rushed for 350 yards and four touchdowns as the Crusaders advanced with a 49-12 win.

Oklahoma lieutenant gov. elect on 'blue wave:' 'Farewell, old friend'

Lieutenant governor-elect T.W. Shannon took on social media to respond to the “blue wave” that saw the Democrat party regain majority in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. Among the states flipped were two of Oklahoma's neighbors and historically conservative states, Texas and Kansas. In the Texas governor race, Gina Hinojosa also defeated incumbent Greg Abbott to become the first Democrat in office since 1995. Republican Kevin Hern took the Senate win over N'Kiyla Jasmine Thomas in the Sooner State by over 200,000 votes, while Trump-endorsed Mike Mazzei defeated Cyndi Munson, keeping Oklahoma red. Shannon, who won the Republican primaries outright, shared a series of posts lamenting the results in the neighboring state. More: Recap: Who won in the Oklahoma runoffs? See results of governor's race, more "Dear Texas, Farewell, old friend," Shannon wrote on Thursday. "I’m sorry the blue wave swept across your once-great state.
