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

Cindy Holscher isn't Laura Kelly-style moderate. How may she lead Kansas differently?

When Laura Kelly campaigned for a second term as Kansas governor in 2022, the Democratic candidate filmed an advertisement of herself walking in the middle of a street . The symbolism highlighted Kelly’s bipartisan approach as the state’s top executive, staying in the middle of the road politically to bring stability to a state that was reeling from budget issues when she arrived. “Like most Kansans, I’m not too far right or too far left,” Kelly said in the ad. “I’ve always been pretty middle of the road, and that’s how I’ve governed.” The pitch worked for Kelly in 2022, earning her a second term that seemingly catapulted her to become the most popular politician in Kansas in statewide polling . This summer, she thought another middle-of-the-road Democrat would be needed to keep the position in the hands of the political party, calling the state “extraordinarily moderate.” However, Democratic Overland Park state Sen. Cindy Holscher appears to have proved her wrong . Holscher, who styled herself as a populist and anti-establishment candidate, is expected to become the next governor after courting progressive voters and pitching herself as the best check on “extremist” Republicans in the Kansas Legislature during the primary

10 Vintage Diners In Kansas That Serve Huge Portions

One retro diner on this list hands out jukebox-style players right at the booths. Another has been cooking chicken-fried steak and hash browns since 1963.
