Once Upon a Time, Long, Long Ago....


Actually, the most recent Democrat to represent Kansas in the U.S. House of Representatives is Dennis Moore, who served the 3rd District from 1999 to 2011.

On the other hand, the last time a Democrat represented Kansas in the U.S. Senate was 1939.  George McGill was elected to fill a vacancy in 1930 and re-elected in 1932.  He unsuccessfully ran for re-election 4 times:  1938, 1942, 1948, and 1954.

Except for Wyandotte County (Kansas City) and Douglas County (Lawrence, University of Kansas), the Sunflower State is decidedly red.
