## Primary election[edit]

In the primary elections held on August 2, 2016, six incumbents were defeated in the state Senate, while nine incumbents were defeated in the state House. Outside of the one incumbent Democrat who was defeated in the House, the other 14 incumbents who were ousted were conservative Republicans displaced by moderate Republicans running against the conservative policies of Gov. Sam Brownback (R). Before the 2016 primary, moderate Republicans had been losing ground in the state legislature, shifting from a more moderate Republican-controlled state legislature to a more conservative one after the 2012 elections. In 2012, 18 Republican incumbents were unseated.

Before the primary, there were 25 conservative incumbents in the Senate that would follow the governor's agenda. Following the primary results, the number dropped to 18 conservative members. The House saw a similar number of conservative seats change to moderate.[2]

#### House incumbents defeated[edit]

* Patty Markley defeated incumbent Craig McPherson in the District 8 Republican primary by a 58-42 margin.
* Tom Cox defeated incumbent Brett Hildabrand in the District 17 Republican primary by a 62-38 margin.
* Jan Kessinger defeated incumbent Rob Bruchman in the District 20 Republican primary by a 54-46 margin.
* Joy Koesten defeated incumbent Jerry Lunn in the District 28 Republican primary by a 54-46 margin.

## Competitiveness[edit]

### Candidates unopposed by a major party[edit]

In 51 of the 125 seats up for election in 2016, there was only one major party candidate running for election. A total of 19 Democrats and 32 Republicans were guaranteed election barring unforeseen circumstances.

Two major party candidates faced off in the general election in 74 (59.2%) of the 125 seats up for election.

### Primary challenges[edit]

Twenty-eight incumbents faced primary competition on August 2. Twenty-six incumbents did not seek re-election and another 71 incumbents advanced past the primary without opposition. The following incumbents were defeated in the primary:

* District 8: Craig McPherson (R)
* District 17: Brett Hildabrand (R)
* District 20: Rob Bruchman (R)
* District 28: Jerry Lunn (R)
* District 39: Charles Macheers (R)
* District 42: Connie O'Brien (R)
* District 58: Ben Scott (D)
* District 75: Will Carpenter (R)
* District 80: Kasha Kelley (R)

### Retired incumbents[edit]

Twenty-six incumbents did not run for re-election, while 99 (79.2%) ran for re-election. A list of those incumbents, three Democrats and 23 Republicans can be found above.

### Results from 2014[edit]

See also: 2014 state legislative elections analyzed using a Competitiveness Index

There were 6,057 seats in 87 chambers with elections in 2014. All three aspects of Ballotpedia's Competitiveness Index—the number of open seats, incumbents facing primary opposition, and general elections between partisan candidates—showed poor results compared to the prior election cycle. States with elections in 2014 held fewer general elections between partisan candidates. Additionally, fewer incumbents faced primary opposition and more incumbents ran for re-election than in recent years.

Since 2010, when the Competitiveness Index was established, there had not been an even-year election cycle to do statistically worse in any of the three categories. See the following chart for a breakdown of those scores between each year.

Overall Competitiveness

|  2010  |  2012  |  2014
Competitiveness Index  | 36.2  | 35.8  | 31.4
% Open Seats  | 18.6%  | 21.2%  | 17.0%
% Incumbent with primary challenge  | 22.7%  | 24.6%  | 20.1%
% Candidates with major party opposition  | 67.3%  | 61.7%  | 57.0%

The following table details Kansas' rates for open seats, incumbents that faced primary challenges, and major party competition in the 2014 general election.

### Historical context[edit]

See also: Competitiveness in State Legislative Elections: 1972-2014

Uncontested elections: In 2014, 32.8 percent of Americans lived in states with an uncontested state senate election. Similarly, 40.4 percent of Americans lived in states with uncontested house elections. Primary elections were uncontested even more frequently, with 61 percent of people living in states with no contested primaries. Uncontested elections often occur in locations that are so politically one-sided that the result of an election would be a foregone conclusion regardless of whether it was contested or not.

Open seats: In most cases, an incumbent will run for re-election, which decreases the number of open seats available. In 2014, 83 percent of the 6,057 seats up for election saw the incumbent running for re-election. The states that impose term limits on their legislatures typically see a higher percentage of open seats in a given year because a portion of incumbents in each election are forced to leave office. Overall, the number of open seats decreased from 2012 to 2014, dropping from 21.2 percent in 2012 to 17.0 percent in 2014.

Incumbent win rates: Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of elections between 1972 and 2014 documented the high propensity for incumbents to win re-election in state legislative elections. In fact, since 1972, the win rate for incumbents had not dropped below 90 percent—with the exception of 1974, when 88 percent of incumbents were re-elected to their seats. Perhaps most importantly, the win rate for incumbents generally increased over time. In 2014, 96.5 percent of incumbents were able to retain their seats. Common convention holds that incumbents are able to leverage their office to maintain their seat. However, the high incumbent win rate may actually be a result of incumbents being more likely to hold seats in districts that are considered safe for their party.

Marginal primaries: Often, competitiveness is measured by examining the rate of elections that have been won by amounts that are considered marginal (5 percent or less). During the 2014 election, 90.1 percent of primary and general election races were won by margins higher than 5 percent. Interestingly, it is usually the case that only one of the two races—primary or general—will be competitive at a time. This means that if a district's general election is competitive, typically one or more of the district's primaries were won by more than 5 percent. The reverse is also true: If a district sees a competitive primary, it is unlikely that the general election for that district will be won by less than 5 percent. Primaries often see very low voter turnout in comparison to general elections. In 2014, there were only 27 million voters for state legislative primaries, but approximately 107 million voters for the state legislative general elections.

## Campaign contributions[edit]

The following chart shows how many candidates ran for State House in Kansas in past years and the cumulative amount of campaign contributions in State House races, including contributions in both primary and general election contests.[5]

Kansas House of Representatives Donations

Year  | Candidates  | Amount
2014  |  245  |  $5,372,854
2012  |  304  |  $5,400,468
2010  |  250  |  $5,412,493
2008  |  243  |  $5,135,862
2006  |  265  |  $5,017,609

### State comparison[edit]

The map below shows the average contributions to 2014 candidates for state houses. The average contributions raised by state house candidates in 2014 was $59,983. Kansas, at $21,930 per candidate, is ranked 33 of 45 for state house chambers with the highest average contributions. Hover your mouse over a state to see the average campaign contributions for that state’s house candidates in 2014.[5][6]

## Qualifications[edit]

Section 4 of Article 2 of the Kansas Constitution states: "During the time that any person is a candidate for nomination or election to the legislature and during the term of each legislator, such candidate or legislator shall be and remain a qualified elector who resides in his or her district."[7]
