Johnson County GOP elects new leaders following major midterm election losses

Johnson County Republicans elected new officers this week as the party begins to forge a path forward in the aftermath of the disastrous 2026 midterms. The leaders were chosen during the Johnson County Republican Central Committee’s biennial reorganization meeting Tuesday night in Olathe. Their election came a week after the county’s voters flipped 11 of the 20 Kansas House seats that are expected to switch from Republican to Democratic control once vote totals are finalized. That means nearly a dozen new Democratic lawmakers from Johnson County will be heading to Topeka in January. Democrats are now expected to hold 25 of the county’s 27 seats in the Kansas House. Several of those races came down to the wire and may not be fully decided until all mail ballots are counted this week. “I definitely was surprised,” said Jerry Charlton, of Overland Park, the newly elected Johnson County GOP chair. He added, however, that “historically, you see these types of swings.” “There’s been worse, you know, in the Democratic Party and others as well.

There’s undoubtedly a Yemeni coffee boom in the U.S. — and the Kansas City metro is no exception. Now yet another Yemeni coffee shop is poised to open in Johnson County soon, though fans of the cafés may recognize this brand. Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co. is opening a location in Leawood, tentatively by the end of December. The upcoming spot at 133rd Street and Mission Road (in the Market Square Shopping Center) will join the brand’s list of a few dozen locations in the U.S. and beyond. Franchise owner Rami Abboud told The Star that he plans to bring a friendly, hospitality-focused vibe to the brand’s first Kansas City area store. “Our goal is to make Qamaria more than just a place to pick up coffee, to be honest,” he said. “We put a lot of thought to make a warm atmosphere. We want people from all backgrounds to feel at home.” It will have all the typical offerings found in its locations in Michigan, Illinois, California, Texas and beyond. Some popular drinks include the signature Qamaria latte (steamed milk, espresso, cinnamon and cardamom), pistachio latte, Adeni chai, mango matcha, salted maple cold brew and more.
