Former U.S. Rep. Nancy Boyda, who was elected in 2006 to represent Kansas’ 2nd Congressional District, was declared the winner of Tuesday night’s Democratic primary.
The Sunflower State seat is currently held by Republican Rep. Jake LaTurner, who is not seeking reelection this fall.
The seat has been held by Republicans for nearly three decades, except for Boyda’s two-year term that ended in 2008.
