Race Analysis

Suburban Kansas City remains solidly Republican, but the metro part of Rep. Sam Graves\' district is going to give former Mayor Kay Barnes (D) a big boost. Barnes has raised a significant amount of money and showed a slight cash on hand advantage after the pre-primary filing deadline. Democrats are going to spend heavily on the race, and Republicans are unlikely to have the cash to respond in kind.
