Johnson County mayors endorse Moran

The Mayoral Majority:

Seven mayors in Johnson County have endorsed Rep. Jerry Moran in the Kansas Senate race.

The mayors:  Carl Gerlach, OP; Mike Boehm, Lenexa; Peggy Dunn, Leawood; Mike Copeland, Olathe; Jeff Meyers, Shawnee; Ron Shaffer, Prairie Village; and Laura McConwell, Mission.

The third district is the clear battleground in the Republican race for the Senate seat.  Rep. Todd Tiahrt holds the fourth -- Wichita -- while Moran represents the first district.  The pair will fight over Republican-rich Johnson County in seeking the party nomination.

And, unless some Democrat steps up quickly, that nomination will determine the next U.S. Senator from Kansas.
