 </figure>Reddi’s decision all but guarantees that state Senator and Kansas City-area Dr. Barbara Bollier will be the Democratic nominee. Reddi raised less than $147,000 for her campaign through March, while Bollier raised nearly $3.5 million. Reddi has served on the Manhattan City Commission since 2013 and is serving a yearlong term as mayor.&nbsp;
