Kansas lawmakers under age 30 have grown from four in 1961 to twenty this session, forming the so called Kiddie Corps. The group, largely conservative and varied in occupation, includes twelve Democrats and seven new members, with Wichita and Topeka representation. It remains fragmented, clings to the majority, and shows limited clout in policy.
