Kansas 2024 Election Results

November 5, 2024

Kansas held its general election on November 5, 2024, deciding 165 legislative seats. No chamber changed party control.

Highlights

  • Gov. Laura Kelly (D) spent the cycle trying to break the Republican two-thirds supermajorities that override her vetoes; instead Republicans preserved the two-thirds edge and widened it, to 31-9 in the Senate and 88-37 in the House. Attorney General Kris Kobach read the result as a mandate to change how Supreme Court justices are chosen.
  • Kelly's $2 million PAC and $660,000 from the Democratic National Committee needed to net two House seats and three Senate seats to break the supermajorities. Instead Republicans won eight of nine targeted House races and five of six Senate races, and five Democratic incumbents lost:
  • The second close-race audit went the Democrats' way: Rep. Nikki McDonald (D) held Johnson County's House District 49 over Kurtis Ruf (R) by 148 votes once the Secretary of State's close-race audit and county certification were done. Across the 165 legislative races, 5 incumbents were defeated, 2 more races finished inside two points, and 60 seats drew a single candidate. The five defeats above are the night's real movement.

Legislature

  • House (125 seats): 40 D, 85 R before the election, 37 D, 88 R after; control stayed with Republicans.
  • Senate (40 seats): 11 D, 29 R before the election, 9 D, 31 R after; control stayed with Republicans.
