KANSAS CITY, Mo. — U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas won a third term Tuesday, coasting to victory amid a nationwide push by the Republican Party to win control of Congress.
Moran, who ran a campaign that attempted to place him above partisan politics, defeated former Kansas City, Kansas, mayor Mark Holland. The Associated Press called the race just after 8 p.m.
The crowd chanted Moran’s name as he took the stage Tuesday evening at an election event hosted by the Johnson County Republican Party at the Marriott Kansas City Overland Park.
