堪萨斯州共和党选民周二选出了该党州长候选人，这是今年关注度最高的州长初选之一。
泰·马斯特森将在11月3日的大选对决民主党候选人，接任任期将满的民主党州长劳拉·凯利。
共和党将这场开放席位的竞选视为在凯利执政两届后重夺州长府的绝佳机会，而民主党则希望打破该州的共和党倾向，保住州长职位。

Republican voters in Kansas chose their nominee Tuesday in one of the year’s highest-profile gubernatorial primaries.
Ty Masterson will face the Democratic nominee in the Nov. 3 general election to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly.
Republicans see the open-seat race as a prime opportunity to reclaim the governor’s mansion after two terms under Kelly, while Democrats are hoping to defy the state’s Republican lean and retain control of the office.

The Republican field featured several well-known statewide and legislative leaders, including Secretary of State Scott Schwab, Senate President Ty Masterson and Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt.
On the Democratic side, voters are choosing among state senators Ethan Corson and Cindy Holscher and Overland Park Mayor Curt Skoog.

The campaign centered on familiar conservative priorities, including tax relief, education, immigration, public safety and cultural issues, as candidates sought to distinguish themselves through their leadership experience and competing visions for the state’s future.
The primary also coincided with a closely watched constitutional amendment that would replace Kansas’ current system of appointing Supreme Court justices with direct elections.

The proposal, backed by Republican lawmakers, comes after years of conservative criticism of Kansas Supreme Court rulings on issues including abortion, school funding and election law.
