Three incumbent Lawrence Democrats were officially re-elected to the Kansas House Tuesday in unopposed races.

Winning two-year terms were Barbara Ballard, of the 44th District, which includes Lawrence precincts west of Iowa Street to Wakarusa Drive; Eileen Horn, who represents the 10th Kansas House District, which includes southeast Lawrence and southeast Douglas County, including Baldwin City; and Dennis “Boog” Highberger, who represents the 46th District, which includes East Lawrence.

The race for the 1st District Douglas County Commission seat was also uncontested in Tuesday’s general election. Democrat Patrick Kelly, who won a three-way race for his party’s nomination in the August primary, made his victory official Tuesday.

Douglas County voters also chose to retain three Douglas County District Court judges: Sally Pokorny, Amy Hanley and Chief Judge Peggy Kittel. District court judges in Kansas stand for retention every four years.
