Sharice Davids

Kansas legislators are scheduled to meet in a special session later this week to take up redistricting. But a sufficient number of members of the Kansas State House of Representatives have yet to offer their support to the effort, some of them criticizing the precedent mid-decade redistricting would set.

Davids, the lone Democrat in Kansas’ congressional delegation, represents much of the Kansas City metro area. She entered the House in 2019.

“If [Kansas Republicans] continue forward on this path, and they’re successful in this, at this point, all I can say is that every option is on the table, including a statewide run,” she said in a press conference last month.

Sen. Roger Marshall (K-Kansas) is the incumbent up for reelection in 2026.

In a press release last week, Davids’ office called the redistricting effort a “power grab” and said she “remains focused on representing [Kansans] in whatever capacity best allows her to do so.”

Spokespeople for Davids and Schiff did not respond to requests for comment.
