Kansas House Minority Leader Tom Sawyer filed for governor as a Democratic backup option to Graves, with Fred Phelps also in the field.

Two Lawrence school board members propose a $9 million bond to complete Prairie Park and build a west side elementary, with a three-section school and reduced bus needs.
