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.

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
