Race summary
On paper, a lesbian mixed martial arts fighter and Ho-Chunk Nation member may not seem like a natural fit for a seat in Kansas City’s ritzy suburbs. But Rep. Sharice Davids now has several impressive reelection victories under her belt, and in 2024 Republicans all but ceded this seat to Democrats as their novice nominee struggled to find his footing in Kansas’ political arena.Key Dates
