Conservatives win big in Senate primaries in Kansas
In Kansas a wave of conservative Republicans defeated seven incumbent moderates in the state Senate, with Senate President Steve Morris losing to a conservative challenger. The outspent moderates faced cash from teachers unions and labor groups, while conservatives drew support from the Kansas Chamber, Americans for Prosperity, and business groups, signaling a likely solid right-leaning majority next year as lawmakers pivot from Obama era policies.
