TONGANOXIE, Kan. (AP) - An 18-year-old recent high school graduate has won a Democratic primary and will compete in November for a seat in the Kansas House of Representatives.
The Leavenworth Times reports Austin Lee Harris of Tonganoxie beat 51-year-old Harold Fevurly Junior of rural Easton on Tuesday by a vote of 302-241, according to unofficial results.
Harris next will face incumbent 67-year-old Republican Rep. Connie O'Brien of Tonganoxie in the November 4th general election.
Harris is a recent Tonganoxie High School graduate who says he hopes to provide a voice for moderates in the 42nd House District.
The district includes western Leavenworth County and southern Douglas County, including the cities of Easton, Tonganoxie and Eudora.
