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. But it’s cyclic.” The county party elects its leadership every two years. But this year’s election, following a series of high-profile losses in Johnson County, could allow

Nearly two weeks after Overland Park farmers market fan favorite Black Rose Coffee closed its brick-and-mortar location, a new one has taken its place.

The first few months, she and her husband Trent Gregg, who are from Paola, did pop-ups at schools for teachers and other community events. True Grinds Coffee Co.

Fast-growing coffee chain opening Johnson County location soon

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.

How architecture firms HNTB and MANICA will divide and conquer Chiefs' stadium build

HNTB, a Kansas City-based engineering and architecture firm , became the official architect of the Kansas City Chiefs’ future new stadium in Wyandotte County in July so HNTB’s role in the stadium project is not new. But a recently announced partnership is, team officials told The Star on Friday. On Thursday, team president Mark Donovan announced a long-term commitment with its design partner that will result in a joint effort to identify special content opportunities going forward. The new $3 billion stadium is slated to open in 2031 in western Wyandotte County. According to a media release announcing the agreement, the partnership creates a platform for the Chiefs and HNTB to collaborate on content that “brings audiences inside the new stadium’s design and delivery process, telling the story of how the next home of the Chiefs is taking shape as well as those of the people behind the scenes making it a reality,” the release reads. Under terms of the agreement, the organizations will work together to share key stadium milestones throughout design and construction. Earlier this year, MANICA Architecture was selected as the lead design architect and HNTB was named by the team as official architect. As the architect
