TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Lawrence attorney has won the Democratic nomination for a chance to face U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran in the general election.

Patrick Wiesner on Tuesday defeated Monique Singh-Bey of Kansas City, Kansas, in the Democratic primary.

During his campaign, Wiesner cited his professional experience with federal law as a tax attorney and Army lawyer. His campaign touted as his mission “paying off the government’s debt,” saying the first step is ending Washington lobbyists’ control of the Senate.

Wiesner will face Moran in November’s general election. Moran was first elected to the Senate in 2010. He represented Kansas in the House from 1997 to 2010.

Republican voters in Kansas Tuesday gave Moran their nod, as he defeated Della Jean “D.J.” Smith. 

Kansas hasn’t elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1932.
