TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Republican Rep. Roger Marshall has won an open Senate seat in Kansas in a tougher-than-expected race that saw his Democratic opponent raise far more campaign cash than he did.
Marshall, who has represented western and central Kansas for two House terms, prevailed in Tuesday’s election over Democratic state Sen. Barbara Bollier.
Marshall entered the fall campaign with the GOP’s traditional advantages in a state that tends to back conservatives. But Bollier excited fellow Democrats because her campaign was able to raise more than $25 million and set a Kansas record, while Marshall raised $6.5 million.
Republicans haven’t lost a Senate race in Kansas since 1932.
