State Senate President Ty Masterson has won the Republican nomination for the governor of Kansas, driven by an endorsement from President Donald Trump. Masterson, who will face the winner of the Democratic gubernatorial primary, will face state Sens. Cindy Holscher and Ethan Corson, while Corson has relied heavily on his support from term-limited Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly. Despite being outspent on the airwaves by his GOP opponents, Masterson's support from the president helped him secure the nomination. In a tele-rally last week, Trump praised Masterson as a "fighter," a "winner," and a "winning" person who has done a "fantastic job" throughout his life.
