The race has pitted doctor against doctor during a global coronavirus pandemic.
“We’re both Kansans and we’re both doctors. But that’s where the similarities end,” said Bollier, who would be the first female physician elected to the Senate.

“Centrist women? Kansas has done that before,” said State Rep. Stephanie Clayton, who switched parties shortly after Bollier.
“History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes," she said, quoting Mark Twain.
