It’s only been in the last 10 years that Kansas politics have gone from being competitive — that is, that a Republican could feel a Democrat breathing down her neck — to today, where the GOP has a lock on most state races.
Kansas is one of the most solidly Republican states in the nation, leaving little to no representation for those of a more liberal bent.
Believe it or not, it’s only been a short 25 years that Democrats once held a majority in the House.
