The contest featured 21 candidates in all, including another prominent Republican, Representative Doug Collins. In Kansas, Republican Representative Roger Marshall defeated Democratic State Senator Barbara Bollier in a surprisingly competitive race. Democrats haven’t won a Senate seat in Kansas, one of the country’s most reliably Republican states, since 1932. But Ms. Bollier mounted a strong challenge in the race for the seat of Republican Senator Pat Roberts, who is retiring. In Maine, four-term Republican Senator Susan Collins, a New England moderate long known for her independence, faces Maine House of Representatives Speaker Sara Gideon.
