In Tuesday’s general election, voters denied two sales tax initiatives on the November ballot, including one intended to generate $12 million for community health and homelessness services throughout the county each year and another focused on improving public parks and area infrastructure.

But the outcome shows that Johnson County’s voters practically single-handedly ended the Republican supermajority. The walloping of Republican candidates reflected a motivated electorate. 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
