Profiles by Chad Lawhorne highlight six state legislative races to watch in the Douglas County area. The Kansas Senate contest for Lawrence areas carries high stakes as one incumbent legislator will lose, shaping the Democratic nominee and the balance of power.
Two Lawrence lawmakers vie for Kansas Senate District 2. Incumbent Sen. Marci Francisco has served since 2005. Challenger Rep. Cristina Haswood represents House District 10 since 2020, covering much of Lawrence and southern Douglas County.
Incumbent Lance Neelly seeks re election in Kansas House District 42 facing challenger Mike Stieben. The district covers northeast Douglas County including parts of Lawrence and Eudora and stretches into Leavenworth County with Tonganoxie.
A longtime Lawrence legislator’s retirement clears the path for a Democratic primary in Kansas House District 46. Brittany Hall, Brooklynne Mosley, and Logan Ginavan vie for the nomination as Boog Highberger leaves 2015 tenure, with no Republican candidate in the district covering northeast Lawrence north of 15th Street and east of Iowa Street.
A newly redrawn Kansas Senate District 9 expands from Johnson County into eastern Douglas and southern Leavenworth counties. Incumbent Sen Beverly Gossage faces Bryan Zesiger in the Republican primary, with Norman Mallicoat of Olathe as the lone Democrat candidate in the general election. The district now includes Baldwin City, Emporia, and Tonganoxie city limits and pairs northwest Lawrence with east Topeka, drawing a full field of candidates.
In Lawrence the district sits north of Sixth Street between Queens Road and Kasold Drive with Lecompton city limits and surrounding rural area. eastern Topeka holds a large share of the district population, where three Democrats and two Republicans compete.
Kansas House District 10 in southern Lawrence opens as incumbent Christina Haswood runs for the Senate. The field narrows to Democrats Suzanne Wikle and Zachary Hawkins with no Republican candidate, making the August primary decisive. Hawkins’ outreach efforts were unsuccessful after multiple contact attempts.
