After what KCTV5 calls a historic upset, Senator-elect Adam Hamilton tells KCTV5 Kansas City on the Record that voters were rejecting what is happening in Washington, D.C., which he calls "abnormal, indecent, immoral, corrupt." He recounts a man at Chicken Marys in Pittsburg, Kansas, who said he had voted in 46 elections without ever backing a Democrat, then voted for Hamilton because Washington today is "not Republican. It's not American. It's not decent."

I think they were making their voices clearly heard that what's happening in Washington, D .C. is not okay. There are so many things that have been abnormal, indecent, immoral, corrupt. And I had a guy tell me, and I heard this similar things across the state of Kansas. But a guy tell me in Pittsburgh, Kansas, where I was at a campaign event at Chicken Marys. And he came up to me, he wasn't at my event. He was eating in the restaurant. He came up to me afterwards. He said you're that guy, right? He was running for the Senate. I said, yeah, that's me and he said I voted in 46 elections And I've never voted for a Democrat and I thought maybe that was gonna be the end He was just telling me now he wasn't gonna vote for a Democrat He said and I voted for you and I voted for you because what's happening in Washington is not Republican. It's not American It's not decent.
