Local races see three state representatives unopposed
Voters face choices in county and federal races as three state representatives Ward Loyd Gary Hayzlett and Larry Powell plus Sen Stephen Morris run unopposed. Only Finney County District 2 features a contest between Bob Baker and Howard Solley amid tax and road funding debates. President Bush leads Kerry nationally with undecided voters lingering in swing states. Kansas may lean Bush but local issues like highway 50 funding could drive turnout.
