Republican Roger Marshall pulled out a tightly competitive race in Kansas Tuesday night, while President Donald Trump secured the state in the presidential race.

​

The back and forth race in Tuesday’s election was between the two term-congressman Marshall and Democratic state Senator Barbara Bollier in the most expensive political contest in state history.

​

The democratic senator set a state record by raising over $25 million for her campaign, setting a Kansas record, while Marshall raised $6.5 million. Outsiders poured in $41 million on advertising, with most of it coming from GOP groups supporting Marshall.

​

Republicans have not lost a Senate seat in Kansas since 1932.
