Former Representative Nancy Boyda, who represented Kansas’ 2nd Congressional District in 2006, was declared the winner in Democratic primary on Tuesday evening.
The Sunflower State seat is currently held by Republican Rep. Jake LaTurner, who is not seeking re-election this fall.
Aside from Boyda’s two-year term that ended in 2008, the seat has been held by Republicans for nearly 30 years.
