KS-03: Attendee at Republican primary night party tests positive for COVID-19
A person who attended the primary election night watch party for Republican congressional candidate Amanda Adkins this week has tested positive for COVID-19.
Adkins’ campaign announced Friday morning that it had been informed of the positive case. The watch party took place Tuesday night at Pinstripes, a restaurant at Prairiefire at Nall and 135th.
Adkins won the Republican primary for Kansas’ Third Congressional District, and will challenge incumbent Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids in November.
The campaign notified watch party attendees, including a reporter at the Shawnee Mission Post, on Friday morning that it had received notice that an attendee at the party tested positive for COVID-19.
Several attendees were wearing masks — mostly younger people in the crowd — but many people at the event were unmasked, including Adkins herself.
