Conservatives press to flip the Kansas Senate in Tuesday primaries as moderates battle back with union and teacher support. The race features 21 districts with GOP contests, a push linked to tax cuts and reduced government influence, while incumbents face tea party challengers and scrutiny over tax policy and spending.
