Kansas House Debates Reapportionment After Census Shift
The Kansas House moved to preliminaries for state congressional district reapportionment after Congress reduced the state’s delegation from eight to seven. A favorable report on the Trued-Armstrong bill would redraw senatorial districts, creating a western-dominated 11-seat Senate while eastern districts shrink. A special reapportionment committee will be named to include two members from each district and one at large.
