Outside of the one incumbent Democrat who was defeated in the House, moderates defeated 14 conservative Republican incumbents in the primary. Before the 2016 primary, moderate Republicans had been losing ground in the state legislature since the 2010 election of Gov. Sam Brownback (R), shifting from a more moderate Republican-controlled state legislature to a more conservative one after the 2012 elections. Eighteen Republican incumbents were defeated in the conservative wave in 2012. Jerry Lunn was one of 14 Republican incumbents who were defeated in the 2016 primary.

Campaign themes

2012

Lunn's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[11][12][13]

Jobs & The Economy

  • Excerpt: "Lower taxes encourages economic growth. Our tax and regulatory burden has put us at a competitive disadvantage in the region resulting in 10 years of net job losses in Kansas. By reducing these burdens our small businesses will have more capital for expansion and job creation."

Spending Reform

  • Excerpt: "Over the last decade politicians went on a spending binge, inflating the state budget to $14 billion and piling up more than $4 billion in debt. We must spend within our means, eliminate waste, determine necessary services and deliver them more efficiently."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Reform the state funding formula to keep more of our tax dollars in the Blue Valley School District. Currently, 70 cents of every Johnson County tax dollar dollar is exported to Topeka… our tax dollars should stay in our classrooms to benefit our kids! Attract, retain and reward teacher excellence and outcomes. Invest in early childhood development."
