The 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Kansas were held on November 6, 2018, to elect the four U.S. Representatives from the state of Kansas, one from each of the state's four congressional districts. The state congressional delegation changed from a 4–0 Republican majority to a 3–1 Republican majority, the first time the Democrats held a house seat in the state since 2010.

District 1

The first district is one of the largest geographically in the nation, encompassing more than half of the area of the state. It is located in western and northern Kansas, and includes the cities of Manhattan and Salina. Republican Roger Marshall won this district in 2016 by defeating the incumbent Congressman, Tim Huelskamp, in the Republican primary 57% to 43% and winning the general election.

Democratic primary

Former school administrator Alan LaPolice, who previously ran as a Republican in 2014 and an independent in 2016, filed to run as a Democrat.[1]

Republican primary

Tim Huelskamp filed a statement of candidacy with the FEC on October 17, 2016, to run for this seat in 2018.[2] Huelskamp made no announcement about whether he is considering a potential rematch with Marshall, but sent a fundraising email attacking Marshall and soliciting donations.[2] On June 29, 2017, it was announced that Huelskamp had accepted a position with The Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank in Arlington Heights, Illinois.[3]

District 2

{{see also|Kansas's 2nd congressional district}}

This district is located in eastern Kansas and is anchored by the state capital, Topeka. It also includes the city of Lawrence. Incumbent Republican Lynn Jenkins has represented the district since 2009. Jenkins was re-elected with 61% of the vote in 2016.

Jenkins had considered running for governor instead of re-election, but decided to retire and not run for any office in 2018.[4][5]

Democratic primary

Former Kansas State House Minority Leader, Blue dog Democrat and 2014 gubernatorial nominee Paul Davis ran unopposed, for the seat which retiring Republican Lynn Jenkins held since 2009. She had beaten former six-term District congressman Jim Ryun in the primary, and incumbent Democrat, Nancy Boyda, in the general election.[6] When Davis ran against incumbent governor Sam Brownback in 2014, he carried the district.[7] Before Ryun won the seat, it had been held by retiring Democratic Representative Jim Slattery. He left Congress and ran unsuccessfully in the 1994 election for the Kansas Governorship, against Republican Bill Graves.

Although Watkins had his residency challenged by other Kansas Republicans, he remained on the ballot. On October 2, 2018, the Associated Press released a story that questioned not only his residency, but numerous inconsistencies in the background he claimed. He alleged that he had provided substantial assistance to those who had suffered from the results of the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, but there was no evidence of that. He claimed he had lived in Alaska, but returned to Kansas to run, but he owned two homes in Alaska, yet did not apparently live in either. He collected a Permanent Fund Dividend, which is only given to eligible state residents.[16]

Libertarian primary

Longtime resident and business developer Kelly Standley filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission as a Libertarian candidate.[17]
