Wichita City Council District 1: Shepard, DeShazer move on to general election
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Tuesday was Primary Election Day in Kansas. While not every race had a primary, and a majority of them did not, we know who is moving on to the General Election in November.
The biggest race of the night was Wichita City Council District 1, a seat that is wide open because incumbent Brandon Johnson is term-limited.
Joseph Shepard received 48% of the votes, followed by LaWanda DeShazer at 20%, Chris Pumpelly at 17%, Aujanae Bennett at 11%, and Darryl Carrington at 4%.
The total turnout for voters hovered around 7%, which is the projection the Sedgwick County election office had hoped for.
