Kansas House redistricting plan approved by committee
The Legislative Apportionment Committee advanced a plan to redraw the 125 seat Kansas House. It would pair two incumbents in Wyandotte and two in Sedgwick, with one Wyandotte and one Douglas district lacking incumbents. Population deviation ranges from minus 4.9 to plus 5.2 percent, exceeding a prior target. The plan adds a new Douglas Johnson district and allows Sedgwick to gain 18 seats, while preserving most existing districts. It now goes to the full House for consideration next Wednesday.
