Mike Dever, Rob Chestnut and Boog Highberger won the city commission race. Only Boog stated his support for the domestic partnership registry, the other two were the Chamber of Commerce slate. They were also the top vote-getters in the first round of voting, so that's not a surprising result.
Scott Morgan, Rich Minder, Mary Loveland and Marlene Merrill won the Lawrence school Board race. That seems like a pretty good slate.
In Johnson County, creationist Charley Morasch lost badly to Clinton Robinson. TfK's friend Don Weiss won a Johnson County Community College Trusteeship. That position is often a stepping stone to other elective office, and positions him well if he runs against John Bacon again.
In Topeka, Patrick Woods won a seat on the local school board.
It looks like anti-tax activist Karl Peterjohn lost his bid for a school board seat by 41 votes. There were 46 write-in votes.
It looks like it's been a good night for Kansas kids.

Indeed, it looks like a good day; I was particularly pleased Weiss won. However, my heart took a jolt when my aged eyes misread "TfK's friend Don Weiss" as "FtK's friend..." I guess I can't blame you, Josh, but that was a nasty moment...
