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

Upscale Johnson County Mexican-style restaurant is opening soon. Peek inside

The inspiration behind a new Johnson County restaurant’s name sits on a warm plate, ready to be squeezed over a helping of brie and shrimp quesadillas. Every entrée at Local Lime is served with a fresh lime wedge — one of a few aspects that give the Arkansas-based brand recognizability. Though each of its four restaurants has its own flair, its modern, trendy style is replicated through its Southwestern tiles and geometric bar design. If customers see the “Mi Casa Es Su Casa” sign inside and smell the queso flameado sizzling, they’re likely in the right place. Local Lime will open its Leawood restaurant soon, marking the company’s entrance into the Kansas City market. Two of its other spots are in its home state, while another has landed in Tennessee. It’s been serving tacos and tequila for about 15 years, altogether. At a friends and family night in the KC metro Tuesday, employees showed select customers what’s to come once it officially opens on Monday. The spot will be at 5005 W. 117th St. in Leawood’s Town Center Plaza, overtaking the former Bravo! Italian Kitchen space. Servers on Tuesday practiced recommending items on the menu, which holds a few dozen

Shawnee moves to ease co-living ban that sparked lawsuit, national headlines

Shawnee’s governing body is looking to ease restrictions on the city’s controversial co-living ban that was approved more than four years ago by a different city council. On Monday, the Shawnee Council Committee directed city staff to make amendments to the municipal co-living ordinance that, among other rules, allows for three or fewer people to live in one house who aren’t related by blood, marriage, or adoption.

New Johnson County restaurant, sports bar opens. Burgers, beers, more

For 40 years, Brooksider has offered cocktails, beers and watch parties in its namesake neighborhood. The walls of 6330 Brookside Plaza have held festivities since 1985. Father-son duo Chuck and Jack Naylor, meanwhile, have owned the bar for about 14 years. But the pair added a new chapter to Brooksider’s book Monday, with the opening of its second location. This one is across state lines, though it bears the same name as its original location. Brooksider’s new space — 5001 Town Center Drive in Leawood — offers multiple levels of indoor and outdoor dining. Altogether, it seats 688 patrons. Customers can experience a more intimate setting by choosing to sit in the cocktail lounge-style section. That area aims to give a “date night” vibe, said general manager Ryan Proffitt, though it’ll still have some TVs to broadcast Chiefs games. (The menu will be consistent throughout the restaurant, too.) An outdoor patio has its own bar, fire pits, heaters and televisions so customers can sit outside as long as possible. Another interior bar neighbors two dart boards and a long, narrow sun room. An upstairs event space plans to open soon, though Proffitt said it’s not quite ready. “We’re shooting for

OPINION: The midterm results finally mirror America

The op-ed below does not necessarily reflect the views of the University Daily Kansan and its members. This year's midterm elections were among the most exciting I have ever witnessed as a college student. For the first time, the results seemed to reflect what America actually looks like. For generations, the face of American politics has largely been straight white men. Now, that image is beginning to change.

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,
