Kansas women and families are ready to hold incumbents accountable for advancing a radical agenda at their expense. #KS02 #KS03

Kansans deserve leaders who will fight for them to have a fair shot & Lynn Jenkins is out of step with the values of working families. #KS02

Kevin Yoder’s failed leadership has hurt women and families, and @KultalaForKS has values Kansans can get behind. #KS03

Perhaps the most important redistricting issue for Lawrence residents will be the new boundaries for the 2nd and 3rd congressional districts. Lawrence is now split almost equally between the two districts, but higher population in the Kansas metropolitan area will make it necessary to trim the 3rd district and perhaps put more or all of Douglas County into the 2nd.

The report shows that the 3rd Congressional District, which includes eastern Douglas County, has the largest population with 767,569 people. That is 112,000 more than the 1st Congressional District, 57,000 more than the 2nd, which includes western Douglas County, and 47,000 more than the Wichita-based 4th. To be equal in population, as the law requires, the congressional districts will have to have roughly 713,000 people each. That means the 3rd, which also includes Johnson and Wyandotte counties, must shed the most population. Could the Douglas County portion of the 3rd be rejoined with the portion in the 2nd, like it was before 2002? Rep. Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, said that’s a possibility.
