The race for Kansas Governor appears to be over. While not officially certified by the Secretary of State’s Office, Attorney General Derek Schmidt has released a statement congratulating Governor Laura Kelly. Schmidt says that though not all the ballots have been counted, they were advised by Election Officials that it is unlikely those will be sufficient to close the remaining gap, so absent any unexpected development it appears this race is over. He says it was a pleasure to talk to Kansans and he will continue to be a person that wants to make the state better, despite the pull of modern politics.
Governor Kelly issued a statement saying she thanks the people of Kansas for the honor to continue to serve the state she loves and it was time to get back to work on bringing in new business, funding school and continuing to find way to bring Kansas into the limelight as a place good for more economic development and a great place to live.
