Kansas Legislature grows younger as age average drops
Kansas officials cite higher pay and broader districts as drivers of a youth movement in the Legislature. The 1951 average age was 52, now 45.8, with 39 percent in their 40s and 20s compared with 34 and 45 in 1951. Reapportionment and TV politics are noted factors.
