> The last time a Kansas Democrat was in the Senate, Judy Garland was filming the Wizard of Oz

Kansas woke up on Wednesday to sunny skies and historic new leadership after days of rain, hail and tornado warnings - amid a tempestuous election battle that ultimately swept a new brand of blue politics into the deep-red state.

Democrat and church pastor Adam Hamilton claimed victory Tuesday night over Republican incumbent and staunch Trump supporter Senator Roger Marshall, marking the first time a Democrat won the seat since 1932.

The 62-year-old leader of the US's largest United Methodist congregation - with 24,000 congregants - had promised voters civility, moderate policy stances and and open ear to their concerns. He'd invoked the state's most famous cultural touchstone, the Wizard of Oz, on the campaign trail, telling Kansans: "What we need in Washington right now is we need senators with a brain who use it, with a heart who feel with it, and who have courage and speak up because of it."
