US House of Representatives Democratic candidate Raj Goyle and Republican candidate Mike Pompeo have been declared the winners of the primary election and will face off against each other in the general election in November.
With all precincts reporting, Pompeo had 39 percent of votes in the GOP race, with Jean Schodorf following behind at 24 percent. Wink Hartman was closely following Pompeo through the night, but as election results came in the gap widened between the two. With all reporting, Hartman was at 23 percent, with Jim Anderson following behind with 13 percent. Paij Rutschman received only 2 percent of the total vote, according to the Secretary of State's office.
“It’s a great day to be a member of Team Pompeo,” Pompeo said in an emailed statement. “Our victory tonight is the result of 18 months of hard work by our amazing volunteers, supporters and staff members. We’ve run a campaign focused on our positive message – a message of smaller government, less spending, border security and a strong national defense. Thank you for your unwavering support over the past year and a half.”
Democratic candidate Raj Goyle declared his victory in front of a crowd in Wichita.
"I am very humbled and proud to stand before you tonight as the Democratic Party’s nominee for the United States Congress," Goyle said, also in an emailed statement.
With all precincts reporting, Goyle held a commanding 80-20 lead over his opponent in Kansas' 4th Congressional District.
Goyle received 16,971 votes to Robert Tillman’s 4,235 votes.
Though results are unofficial at this time, both candidates already looking to the race in November.
"The next Congressman from Kansas’ 4th District will have one critical and fundamental responsibility — protect and create Kansas jobs," Goyle said.
“We’ve crossed the primary election finish line first – but our work is far from over,” Pompeo said. “We must immediately refocus and work toward victory in November.”
