Kansas is the sleeper race of the cycle. Kelly proved a Democrat can win here twice, endorsed Corson, and remains widely popular. Corson raised $903K in 2025 and is campaigning on kitchen-table issues — eliminating the food sales tax, cutting property taxes — that play well across party lines. The D primary between Corson and Holscher ($398K) has 58% undecided (PPP Jan 2026). The GOP primary is a seven-way brawl dominated by self-funders: Sarnecki ($2.53M, $2M self-loan), Colyer ($2.07M, $1.06M self-loan), Schwab ($1.4M, $1.05M self-loan), and Masterson ($687K plus a dark-money nonprofit). Name ID: Colyer 35%, Schwab 29%, Masterson 25%. The 2022 abortion referendum showed Kansas voters will break from the party when motivated. In a strong D environment with a fractured and bruised GOP nominee, I'd narrowly rather be the Democrat.
