Sedgwick County swung Democratic in several major races. Here's what to know

Kansas Republicans counted on Sedgwick County to blunt a Democratic surge, with top-of-the-ticket candidates Roger Marshall and Ty Masterson calling it home turf. Instead, the usually red-leaning county broke for Democrats in several major races. FULL STORY: Republicans needed to win Sedgwick County to avoid a blue wave. That didn’t happen Here are key takeaways, based on Election Day results: U.S. Senate: Democrat Adam Hamilton topped Roger Marshall in Sedgwick County, 95,151 to 81,533. Hamilton also won statewide, 556,414 to 503,230. Governor’s race: Democrat Cindy Holscher beat Ty Masterson in the county, 94,148 to 86,007, and appears to have won statewide, with her lead growing as late-arriving mail-in ballots continue to be counted. U.S. House: Democrat Katy Tyndell edged incumbent Ron Estes in Sedgwick County, 89,140 to 87,285, though Estes carried the broader district. Secretary of State and Attorney General: The Democratic candidate for secretary of state, Jennifer Day, and Democratic attorney general candidate Chris Mann both carried Sedgwick County, although Day lost the statewide contest while Mann appears to have defeated Attorney General Kris Kobach. The shift is notable because Donald Trump carried Sedgwick County by more than 30,000 votes in 2024 and visited Park City last month urging
