Judicial election results

Here is a Kansas City Star article reporting that incumbent district judge Muriel Harris lost her primary race to assistant district attorney Constance Alvey.

Here is a Wichita Eagle article reporting that incumbent district judge Rebecca Pilshaw narrowly won her primary contest against Ross Alexander. Pilshaw will face J. Patrick Walters in the general election. There were several other contested judicial races in Sedgwick County. Former deputy PD and former district judge Carol Bacon won her primary election and will face current state senator Phil Journey in the general election. Current deputy PD Jama Mitchell was unopposed in her primary; she will face Jeff Syrios in the general election.

According to the Secretary of State's unofficial results, Gary House defeated incumbent district judge Russell Canaday in the district covering Chautauqua and Montgomery Counties. House will face Robert Lattin in the general election. And the Secretary's site indicates that Clint Peterson narrowly defeated incumbent district judge Nels Noel in the district covering the six most southwestern counties (this race is really close though, so check back in).
