Kansas Republican senate president announces 2026 gubernatorial bid

July 20, 2025

Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson has entered the 2026 race for governor as the Republican primary field gets more crowded. Republicans are keen to recapture the governor’s office in GOP-leaning Kansas after Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly narrowly won a second four-year term in 2022. Kelly is term-limited and cannot run again. Masterson, a small-business owner, announced his candidacy Sunday. He became Senate president in 2021. Other Republicans in the 2026 governor’s race include Secretary of State Scott Schwab, who built his public profile pushing back against unfounded election conspiracy theories, and former Gov. Jeff Colyer.

Lions DL Levi Onwuzurike out for season after ACL surgery, setback for team with ailing Alim McNeill

July 20, 2025

Detroit Lions defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike is out for the season after having knee surgery, a setback for a franchise that was counting on him to fill in for Alim McNeill. Lions coach Dan Campbell made the announcement on Sunday morning, just before his team had the NFL’s first training camp practice of the year.

McNeill is out indefinitely. Rookie defensive tackle Tyleik Williams has a chance to play a significant role.
