Cindy Holscher is the prospective governor-elect. Here's what she has promised Kansans

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

Meteor shower may bring ‘incredible fireballs.' When to see it from Kansas

An upcoming meteor shower peaking over Kansas soon is known for producing bright fireballs, and the ideal viewing period will be longer than usual. The Northern Taurids peak around Wednesday to Thursday , but a longer peak means any night the second week of November will offer good viewing opportunities, AccuWeather meteorologist Brian Lada told the Eagle in a recent email. “Unlike most meteor showers that peak over the course of one or two nights, both of the Taurids have longer, drawn out peaks that last about a week,” Lada said. The Southern Taurids peaked in early November. Because the Northern Taurids have a longer peak, Lada advised stargazers to choose the night with the best weather to stargaze. Wichita stargazers are in luck — clear to mostly clear skies are expected Monday through Saturday nights , according to the National Weather Service. “The Taurids are also known for producing fireballs, which are incredibly bright meteors that can briefly be as bright as a full moon,” Lada said. “Not every meteor will be one of these incredible fireballs, but it adds intrigue for an otherwise ordinary meteor shower.” One downside to the Northern Taurids shower is it only brings about

Kansas senator-elect Adam Hamilton addresses Church of the Resurrection congregation after election

LEAWOOD, Kan. — Kansas senator-elect Adam Hamilton returned to church Sunday, addressing his congregation for the first time since winning election to the U.S. Senate. Hamilton, the lead pastor of Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, thanked church members for their support throughout his campaign and reflected on how his role as a pastor shaped his experience on the campaign trail.

Rev. Hamilton is going to Washington. What will that mean for his church?

Rev. Hamilton is going to Washington. But how often will he come back? Kansans have reasons to wonder, having just booted Sen. Roger Marshall from office Tuesday, in part because of how absent he seemed from the state he represented. Few believed Marshall was rushing back on weekends to the one-bedroom hunting shack he kept in rural Stafford County. His million-dollar vacation home in Sarasota, Florida, seemed a more likely destination when he wasn’t in Washington. Even if Senator-elect Adam Hamilton, who defeated Marshall, wanted to spend his free time on a white-sand Florida beach, he has a practical reason to come home. He has a church to run — and not just any church, but the largest United Methodist congregation in the country, the Leawood-based Church of the Resurrection, with 25,000 members. And he intends to keep running it, at least part-time. Resurrection laid out Hamilton’s plans in a detailed announcement Wednesday. In the short term, Hamilton will attend Senate orientation in Washington, then take a previously planned two-week vacation with his wife, LaVon. He’ll return to the pulpit Nov. 29 and continue leading services through Christmas. “I can hardly wait to return to a regular preaching schedule for

Opinion: Kansas Democrats rollicked and reveled after shocking election results. But they weren’t a surprise.

Last week’s midterm election was unprecedented but predictable, jaw-dropping but routine, earth-shattering but rock solid. For the first half of those comparisons, you just have to look at the numbers. Kansas elected its first Democratic senator since 1932. For the first time in its entire history as a state, Kansas voters picked a Democrat to […]
