Donald Trump won Kansas by 16 points. But breaking this supermajority was SO close: if just 568 votes had changed across 5 seats, the supermajority would have been broken in the Kansas State House, and Governor Laura Kelly’s veto power — which would have allowed her to block some of the worst of the MAGA agenda — would have been reinstated.
Every seat that was won or lost within 5 percent of the vote across both chambers was a seat we invested in — margins came down to as few as 31 votes.
Power our ability to select and invest in majority-making districts that can help build and defend governing power for state lawmakers committed to safeguarding our democracy, protecting personal freedoms, and improving lives across the country.
Trump won Kansas by 16 points, and we were just barely unable to achieve our goals; 3 seats were lost in the House and 2 in the Senate.
In The States Project’s first election in Kansas, we set out to break the supermajority in either chamber to protect Governor Laura Kelly’s vetoes. We needed to net three seats in the State Senate or two in the State House.
In the State Senate, two candidates we supported flipped seats to become Senators. While in the House, two candidates we supported flipped their seats.
One candidate that our efforts supported performed 10 points better than Biden in their district in the Kansas City suburbs, knocking off an incumbent in a district that Trump carried by more than 3 percent.
