Community Bankers Association of Kansas January 6, 2017
Community Bankers Association of Kansas Legislative Update January 6, 2017 Overview The 2017 session begins on Monday, January 9th; the Governor’s State of the State will occur on Tuesday, January 10th, and the Governor’s budget recommendations will be presented sometime later that week. The session should begin quickly with a mid-session break scheduled for February 25-March 6 and the regular session concludes on April 7th. The veto session begins May 1. A 90-day session should conclude on May 14th. There is much work to be done and this session will likely be the longest and most difficult in memory. New Leadership House of Representative In the House of Representatives, Democrats increased their numbers by twelve seats and a fair number of more conservative Republicans lost in the primary and general elections. The chamber has again elected a more conservative Speaker but the other leadership positions are fairly balanced between conservatives and moderate Republicans The 2017 House will have 85 Republicans and 40 Democrats, a change from the 2016 division of 97-28. Republicans: • House Speaker: Ron Ryckman Jr., (R-Olathe). • House Majority Leader: Rep. Don Hineman, (R-Dighton) • Assistant Majority Leader: Rep. Scott Schwab, (R-Olathe). • Assistant Majority Leader: Rep. Tom Phillips, (R-Manhattan). Democrats • Minority Leader: Rep. Jim Ward, (D-Wichita). • Assistant Minority: Leader: Rep. Stan Frownfelter, (D- Kansas City). Senate The Senate partisan split will be 31-9, with the Republican majority. The Democrat gain of one seat actually under-represents the amount of change in the Senate because fourteen incumbent conservative Republicans either chose not to run or were defeated. -

2018 General Election Outcomes for Kansas RPAC Supported Candidates
2018 General Election Outcomes for Kansas RPAC Supported Candidates The 2018 Kansas General Election has concluded, and while the votes are still unofficial, on the whole, we have clear winners and losers. Most notable, was the race for Kansas Governor, where State Senator Laura Kelly (D) defeated Secretary of State Kris Kobach by a 5-point margin. It will be the first time since 2010 that Kansas will have a Democratic administration, a marked shift from the previous Republican administrations of Brownback and Colyer and a sharp contrast to a Kobach administration. Kansas RPAC did not financially support or endorse a candidate for Governor in the Primary or General Elections. Republicans swept the remaining statewide races. Derek Schmidt won re-election for the Attorney General. Jake LaTurner, who was appointed State Treasurer in the Spring of 2017, won a full term in office. State Senator Vicki Schmidt won her bid for Kansas Insurance Commissioner. Lastly, Representative Scott Schwab prevailed in the race for Secretary of State. Kansas RPAC provided financial support and endorsed Derek Schmidt, LaTurner and Schwab in both the Primary and General Elections. Kansas RPAC supported and endorsed Vicki Schmidt in the General Election. For the Congressional races, National RPAC provided support to candidates in the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Kansas Congressional Districts. While Rep. Roger Marshall (R-Great Bend) and Rep. Ron Estes (R-Wichita) were successful in their re-election bids, incumbent Kevin Yoder (R-Overland Park) was defeated by Sharice Davids (D-Kansas City). Kansas RPAC did not support a candidate in the 2nd Congressional Race, which was won by Steve Watkins (R-Topeka) over Paul Davis (D-Lawrence). -
