In the American heartland, where political identity runs as deep as the prairie soil, Kansas Republicans have chosen Ty Masterson to carry their hopes into November's gubernatorial contest — a race that represents not merely a change in leadership, but a reckoning over who speaks for a state long defined by its conservative character. After two terms under Democrat Laura Kelly, the open seat invites both parties to argue their vision for Kansas, while a concurrent vote on how the state selects its highest judges suggests the stakes extend well beyond a single election cycle.
