A short Kansas election š§µ before bed. 
Sharice Davids winning by double digits, again, after Republicans tried gerrymandering #KS03 is a sign of just how bad things are getting for Republicans in the state's most populous County. And a sign that Amanda Adkins is a truly terrible candidate.
JoCo Dems also picked up 3 state House seats in the county, and lost 3 more by such small margins (<250 votes) that if they don't flip thanks to late-arriving mail ballots, are probably likely to flip in 2024.
Fun fact: JoCo has added ~25K registered Dems since Nov. 2020.

And here's the climactic burst of spending from the Democratic House Majority PAC, putting up...

Republicans in the Kansas state Senate have voted to override #KSGov Laura Kelly's veto of the new congressional map. The map is below and puts #KS03 in play this fall.
The old #KS03 district of Rep. Sharice Davids (D) was Biden +11. The new #KS03 is a more competitive Biden +4

Democratic #KS03 Congresswoman Sharice Davids represents the late Rep. Dennis Mooreās former House district.
Hoyer on Moore: "May Dennisās memory echo in the halls of the House and across Kansasās āwheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,ā calling us ever to remember that āthis land was made for you and me.āā
KANSAS: Republicans hold a 3-1 lead in the delegation, but there's serious talk they could draw a 4-0 gerrymander by converting Rep. Sharice Davids (D)'s #KS03 from a double-digit Biden district (left) to a double-district Trump district (right).
However, Kansas Rs face some obstacles to doing so:
1) They'd have to override Gov. Laura Kelly (D)'s veto. That might not be easy given they can't afford many defections and in 2011, when Rs controlled it all, they couldn't even agree on a map and it went to federal court

Every state had big stakes on the ballot. I previewed them before Nov. 3 ā and now we know enough to revisit it all.
Here's a new thread on each & every state, and DC & Puerto Rico too. Idea is to encapsulate as much of what went down as I can within 280 characters. Let's go!

And a series of December/January runoffs, of course, still loom large. The cycle is not over!

I ran for office to make sure everyone has the same opportunity to succeed that I did.
We began our campaign with 3 people around a kitchen table.
But w/ the help of people in #KS03, we grew that team into a historic campaign that took out a four-term Republican incumbent.
