MISSION, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Republicans are hoping that a midterm election wave will sweep Democrat Sharice Davids out of her Kansas City-area congressional seat. Davids is the only Kansas Democrat in Congress and in Tuesday’s election faces a rematch with 2020 Republican challenger Amanda Adkins. Redistricting has made winning harder for Davids. Adkins is following other GOP candidates in focusing on high inflation and crime as big issues. Davids and other Democrats have attacked Adkins for supporting an anti-abortion amendment to the Kansas Constitution that voters statewide rejected in August. The three Kansas Republicans serving in the U.S. House are expected to win reelection.
