Although Johnson County stays intact, the district now includes more rural, Republican-leaning areas that could make it harder for incumbent Rep. Sharice Davids, the only Kansas Democrat in Congress, to keep her seat.
Enjoy the lull, voters. The Kansas Supreme Court decision is behind us. Memorial Day weekend is ahead. While some other states have already voted in primaries, Kansans who want to run for Congress in August still have until June 10 to file.
That deadline is later than normal because until last week everyone was waiting on the high court to decide whether the state legislature improperly redrew congressional district lines to weaken the votes of Democrats and non-white residents.
It didn’t, according to the justices. So get ready. Political hopefuls everywhere are busy looking at who’s now in those districts and refining the messages that will soon start flooding mailboxes and television.
