Kansas House of Representatives • 2012 Kansas Senate Elections
Elections for the office of Kansas House of Representatives were held in Kansas on November 6, 2012. All 125 seats were up for election.

The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in these elections was June 11, 2012. The date was originally set for June 1, but a delay in the redistricting process caused the state to push back the filing deadline.[1] The primary Election Day was August 7, 2012.

The 2012 elections gained national attention as conservative members of the Republican Party vowed to defeat more moderate GOP legislators in an attempt to move the entire state in a more conservative direction.[2][3] Thus, the primaries in Kansas took on great importance as many elections would be decided prior to the general election.[4][5] Leading the movement for the conservative wing was current Gov. Sam Brownback, while former Gov. Bill Graves worked to rally moderates.[6] Results from the August 7 primary election left a total of 10 incumbent Republican Representatives defeated by their primary opponent.

## Impact of redistricting[edit]

See also: Redistricting in Kansas

The Kansas Legislature is responsible for legislative, congressional, and state Board of Education redistricting. The House and Senate each appoint members to a committee to develop plans which are then presented to the respective chambers for consideration. Kansas redistricting is based on figures adjusted by the Secretary of State. These figures are adjusted for the student, prison, and military populations, using state survey data. Redistricting plans are subject to mandatory judicial review by the Kansas Supreme Court.[9][10]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Kansas' population rose from 2.69 million to 2.85 million between 2000 and 2010, with most of the state's population clustered in the east (near Kansas City, Topeka, and Lawrence) and around Wichita.[11] Despite this overall growth of 6.1 percent, seventy-seven of Kansas' 105 counties experienced a decrease in population over the course of the decade. Most of the growth was in urban and suburban areas, and minority populations increased significantly.[12]

Entering the redistricting process, observers suggested that four or five state house seats could have left the southern and western portions of the state and be moved to the northeast, where growth rates were the highest between 2000 and 2010.[13] The legislature failed to produce maps by the legal deadline, so the map-making process went to the courts. The court-drawn map moved district lines significantly, taking three House districts away from rural areas and putting three new districts in urbanizing Johnson County and creating 21 House districts with two incumbents and two House districts with three incumbents.[14]
