Wyandotte County venues could be the big champions in Tuesday night’s primary for Democratic Congressional candidates.

Four out of six of the Democratic candidates for U.S. representative, 3rd District, were holding election night watch parties in Wyandotte County.

They included Brent Welder, at the Hilton Garden Inn at 5th and Minnesota Avenue; Sharice Davids, at Breit’s at 412 N. 5th St.; Tom Niermann, at the Niermann headquarters, 4710 N. 43rd Ave.; and Mike McCamon at the Mason Jar, 941 N. 74th Drive.

Jay Sidie had his watch party at Conroy’s in Westwood, while Sylvia Williams was at Tanner’s Bar and Grill in Overland Park.

McCamon remarked that he had held several meetings with voters at the Mason Jar during the campaign, and he feels that Wyandotte County has largely been ignored by incumbent Rep. Kevin Yoder, a Republican.

“The wealth of Johnson County is only matched by the opportunity of Wyandotte County, if we can find a way to work together,” he said.
