## Resource

Kansas’s Second Congressional District is heating up as Republican voters choose between incumbent Derek Schmidt—a former AG with a polished academic pedigree and a focus on border security and fiscal conservatism—and challenger Chad Young, a community advocate who’s built his campaign around abolishing taxes, banning ultra-processed foods, and empowering at-risk youth. The winner faces Democratic nominee Don Coover in November, making this primary a pivotal moment for the district’s future—and for voters in Douglas County who’ll be casting ballots on this high-stakes showdown.
