History would suggest it will be a tough election for Democrats in Kansas this November.

On the surface, at least, Republicans stand to do very well in the top statewide races, given the state's ruby red leanings.

But Democrats are riding a wave of hope after this month's primaries.

And that wave is emanating mainly from Johnson County.

After a late entry to the race, Leawood pastor Adam Hamilton overwhelmed a crowded field to seek a U.S.

Senate seat.

He'll take on the incumbent Republican Roger Marshall in November.

And in the race for governor, Overland Park State Senator Cindy Holsher beat two other Johnson County rivals to face State Senate President Ty Masterson, who's endorsed by President Trump.

KCUR's Nomeen Ujjadeen sat down with Johnson County Post editor Kyle Palmer to dig into those races and what they tell us about the county's evolving political profile.

That was Kyle Palmer of the Johnson County Post talking with KCUR's Nomeen Ujiyadeen.

This is Kansas City Today.

I'm Brian Ellison.
