Yard signs in one Kansas House district suggest Johnson County is getting bluer

OVERLAND PARK — An influx of Democrat yard signs could signal a shift toward a bluer Johnson County, even if the signs don’t align with party affiliation.

The potential shift is evident in a seven-block stretch of Overland Park — represented by Republican Rep. Carl Turner — where more than half of the 90 political yard signs favor Democrats.. Only 29% of registered voters in the district are Democrats, compared to 46% Republicans.

Democrat Ace Allen is challenging Turner again this year after losing to Turner by just 60 votes in 2022. Allen said requests for his yard sign have doubled from his campaign two years ago.

“The encouraging thing about a yard sign, as opposed to signs on the street, is that they actually indicate a voter,” Allen said.
