The four Kansas House districts that represent the bulk of Lawrence were decided months before the Nov. 5 election, as were a handful of county-level races.
Kansas House Districts 10, 44, 45 and 46 include most of the city of Lawrence.
The Democrats running for Districts 10 and 46 — Suzanne Wikle (rhymes with Michael) and Brooklynne Mosley, respectively — won their primaries on Aug. 6 and face no challengers in the Nov. 5 general election. Both will be freshman legislators.
Both candidates shared their views in our questionnaires ahead of the August primary election. Read about Wikle’s stances at this link; read about Mosley’s at this link.
The Democrats running for Districts 44 and 45 — incumbents Barbara Ballard and Mike Amyx, respectively — ran unopposed in the Aug. 6 primary election and will be unopposed in the Nov. 5 general election as well. Ballard has represented Lawrence in the Legislature since 1993, Amyx since 2019.
House Districts 42, 47 and 117 each include smaller portions of Lawrence. Those races are not unopposed, though only the Democrats running for each seat responded to the Times’ candidate questionnaires. Find those online at lawrencekstimes.com/election2024.
At the county level, Sheriff Jay Armbrister, Treasurer Adam Rains and Register of Deeds Kent Brown each won their Democratic primary elections in 2020 and ran unopposed in the general election that year. All three are running unopposed this year.
Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew, also a Democrat, was first elected in 2004. He has not faced an opponent since ’04, and he’s running for his sixth term.
