OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Democratic U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids won her re-election bid Tuesday night defeating a challenge from Republican Prasanth Reddy.
With 100 percent of the estimated vote in, Davids defeated Reddy 53.2 percent to 42.8 percent.
Davids handily won in Johnson County and a portion of Wyandotte County, while Reddy took Miami, Franklin and Anderson counties.
As has been custom since Davids first was elected to the U.S. House, 3rd District, Kansas, in 2018, she faced a spirited campaign from the GOP candidate.
"Kansas is a place where we work hard and persevere," Davids told supporters Tuesday night in Overland Park.
