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. 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. On the Democratic side, voters are choosing among state senators Ethan Corson and Cindy Holscher and Overland Park Mayor Curt Skoog. The winner of that primary will face the new Republican nominee in November.
