Republican Ron Estes wins election to a U.S. House seat representing Kansas.

Estes defeated Democrat Esau Freeman to keep a seat he's held since 2017 in the 4th District of south-central Kansas. Estes is a former two-term county and state treasurer who won a special election in 2017 to replace Mike Pompeo when Pompeo became CIA director and later U.S. secretary of state under former President Donald Trump. Freeman is a painter from Wichita who represents service union members in disputes with employers but is best known for advocating the legalization of marijuana in Kansas.
