New campaign finance reports show Democrats in hotly contested Kansas Senate races outspending their Republican opponents over the past three months.

Reports filed this week with the secretary of state’s office show the widest gap between Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley and GOP challenger Casey Moore. Both are from Topeka and running in the 19th Senate District.

Hensley reported spending nearly $113,000 on his re-election campaign from July 27 through Oct. 25, compared with the roughly $12,000 spent by Moore.

Another closely watched race is in the 5th District in the Kansas City area. Democratic incumbent Kelly Kultala of Kansas City reported spending more than $56,000 over the past three months. Republican Steve Fitzgerald of Leavenworth spent about $51,000.
