Conservative efforts to oust moderate Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger in the Republican primary failed Tuesday night when she defeated Rep. Eric Carter of Overland Park.
With 88 percent of precincts reporting, Praeger had 59 percent of the vote compared with 41 percent for Carter. She was among two statewide officials targeted for removal by the party’s conservatives. No insurance commissioner has lost a primary contest in Kansas.
