  "account": "Topeka, Kansas (AP) — Democrat Cindy Holscher has won the gubernatorial election in Kansas, continuing her party's wave of victories nationwide. She defeated Republican Ty Masterson, who received support from President Donald Trump. Holscher, a state senator, secured the Democratic majority in governorships, a first in two decades. She pledged to halt new data centers despite Masterson's substantial funding advantage. Holscher's victory was bolstered by the success of U.S. Senate candidate Adam Hamilton and Attorney General challenger Chris Mann, both Democrats. While Republicans spent more than three times as much on advertising, Holscher's campaign emphasized local job creation and reasonable energy use limits.",
  "summary": "Holscher, a state senator, promised to halt new data centers and overcame a flood of money that Republicans poured behind Ty Masterson, the president of the GOP-controlled state Senate.",
