TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Latest on the Kansas primary:

9:25 p.m.

A veteran of Topeka-area politics who once served in the Kansas Legislature has defeated a new state House member in the Democratic primary.

Vic Miller prevailed easily Tuesday over Rep. Ben Scott and state employee Brett Kell in the 58th Kansas House District of Topeka.

No Republican ran for the seat in the Democratic-leaning district.

Scott was selected last year by a handful of local Democratic officials to fill the seat after longtime Rep. Harold Lane stepped down. Scott is a pastor and president of the Topeka NAACP chapter.

Miller served in the House in 1979-84 and left the Legislature after an unsuccessful run for the state Senate. He later served as a Shawnee County commissioner and municipal judge in Topeka.

A Lawrence attorney has won the Democratic nomination for a chance to face U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran in the general election.

Patrick Wiesner on Tuesday defeated Monique Singh-Bey of Kansas City, Kansas, in the Democratic primary.

During his campaign, Wiesner cited his professional experience with federal law as a tax attorney and Army lawyer. His campaign touted as his mission “paying off the government’s debt,” saying the first step is ending Washington lobbyists’ control of the Senate.

Wiesner will face Moran in November’s general election. Moran was first elected to the Senate in 2010. He represented Kansas in the House from 1997 to 2010.

Kansas hasn’t elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1932.

Republican voters in the deep red state of Kansas have given U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran their nomination in the state’s primary.

The Republican incumbent on Tuesday defeated Della Jean “D.J.” Smith, a former Osawatomie city council member who ran against a sitting GOP senator for the second time. She ran in the 2014 Republican primary against U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, finishing far behind in third place that year.

In the November general election, Moran will face the winner of the Democratic primary contest between Patrick Wiesner of Lawrence and Monique Singh-Bey of Kansas City, Kansas.

Kansas hasn’t elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1932.

The 62-year-old Moran was first elected to the Senate in 2010. He previously represented the state’s 1st congressional district from 1997 to 2010.
