  • Sarah Lopez takes lead from Michael O’Donnell in Sedgwick County Commission race

Democratic candidate Sarah Lopez has taken the lead in the District 2 race for the Sedgwick County Commission.

Ballots are still being counted and results are not expected to be finalized until next week. The Sedgwick County Election Office updated the numbers late Friday, giving Lopez 16,237 votes to lead incumbent Republican Michael O’Donnell with 16,112.

The county election office has been counting mail ballots and still has thousands of provisional ballots to go through.  O’Donnell has said he’ll step down if he wins because of an ongoing investigation into his role in a false attack ad against Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple during last fall’s city election season.

Commissioner David Dennis also won reelection, and his lead is holding in District 3 as votes are tallied.
