Kiddie Corps reshapes Kansas Legislature dynamics this session
The Kiddie Corps, a bloc of young lawmakers in Kansas, favors Democrats and men. Twelve of twenty are Democrats led by Rep. Sharon Hess. The group includes lawyers, teachers, students, a rancher, and a pilot. They meet mostly in the House, with leadership roles held by Slattery and Rodrock, but unity remains elusive.
