Wimmer to challenge Julia Lynn for Kansas Senate seat

Former Olathe school superintendent Ron Wimmer will kick off his campaign for the Kansas Senate on Tuesday, April 29, at the Ball Conference Center, 21350 W. 153rd St., Olathe at 6:30pm.

This is one of Johnson County's most interesting and anticipated elections. Wimmer will be trying to take the Senate seat away from Sen. Julia Lynn, an Olathe Republican who was the hand-picked successor to Kay O'Connor. Lynn was elected by GOP precinct committeemen and committeewomen. This will be Lynn's first general election.

MAINstream has many members in Olathe and will be keeping our eyes on this exciting race.
