Kansas districts loom in 2018 midterm elections
Kansas faces tight races in the 2nd and 3rd districts as Republicans defend seats in a polarized national contest. Lynn Jenkins retires in the 2nd, with Sabato Crystal Ball and Real Clear Politics calling it a toss-up while Cook and Inside Elections show a Republican lean. In the 3rd, Kevin Yoder seeks re-election amid a district Clinton carried in 2016, with toss-up ratings from some outlets and lean-Republican views from others.

Lawrence economy better than most of state in 2018
Economists from Wichita State University's Center for Economic Development and Business Research project a 0.6 percent job growth for the Lawrence metro area in 2018 driven by a strong housing market. Kansas overall GDP fell 0.1 percent last year due to early quarters, with a modest late-year rebound. Lawrence and Kansas City show relative resilience amid broader state trends.
