A Kansas lawmaker who lost his re-election primary battle earlier this month has died.

The 60-year-old Republican legislator served one term before losing the primary election to John Whitmer.

Kansas Republican Party executive director Clay Barker says Edwards was well liked by his fellow representatives.
