Schwab reelected Kansas Secretary of State

  

Incumbent Republican Scott Schwab has been reelected Kansas Secretary of State. 

 

 

Schwab defeated Democratic challenger Jeanna Repass by a margin of 20%.

Schwab received 58% of the vote, and Repass received 39%.

Libertarian Cullene Lang received 3% of the vote.

 

Schwab won by a smaller margin than I predicted.

I predicted Schwab would win by 35%.

Instead, he won by 20%. 

 

I voted for Repass, although there were few meaningful differences between the two main candidates. I believe either Schwab or Repass would have done a decent job if elected. 

 

Schwab’s margin of victory, 20%, exactly matches the average margin of victory for Republican candidates in the four previous most-recent Kansas Secretary of State elections.

 

Schwab won reelection by a greater margin than his initial 2018 election as Secretary of State, when he defeated Democrat Brian McClendon by a margin of 9%.
