There’s not much to watch in Democratic-heavy Wyandotte County. The big action in Wyandotte was in the primaries, with multiple Democrats going head-to-head in the primary races.
Wanda Brownlee-Paige won in a four-way race for the Democratic nomination for Kansas House District 35. Three candidates showed up with a goal of unseating first-term state Rep. Marvin Robinson, who had closely aligned himself with Kansas Republicans during his first two years.
Robinson, passed away just two weeks after the primary. Brownlee-Paige, who also serves on Kansas City’s USD 500 school board, becomes yet another double-dipper in KCK. State Rep. Valdenia Winn also serves on the USD 500 school board and in the Kansas House. State Sen. David Haley serves in the Kansas Senate and on the Kansas City Board of Public Utilities.
Rep. Winn, who represents Kansas House District 34, ran unopposed in both the primary and the general election. Sen. Haley, who represents Senate District 4, is the longest serving member in the Kansas Legislature. He had a rare primary competitor but does not have an opponent in the general election.
