317
In the closest race yet for an African American running for statewide office, Kansas state Senator David Haley captured the Democratic nomination for Secretary of State by a razor thin 317 votes (http://www.blackpolicy.org/black-races.php?s=KS) in yesterday's primary.
Senator Haley topped political science professor Robert Beattie to set up a rematch with current Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh who won the Republican primary by blasting Haley's state Senate colleague Kay O'Connor http://www.blackpolicy.org/black-races.php?s=KS by 43 points.
Secretary of State Thornburgh looks unbeatable, but Senator Haley is a smart, savvy, up and comer in Kansas politics who learned some lessons in his 2002 race with Thornburgh and will be riding the coattails of Kathleen Sebelius the state's popular Democratic Governor.
