List of United States senators from Kansas

None

Summary

None

(R) (R) This is a list of United States senators from Kansas. Kansas was admitted to the Union on January 29, 1861, and its senators belong to class 2 and class 3. Kansas's current senators are Republicans Jerry Moran and Roger Marshall. 29 of Kansas's senators have been Republicans, three have been Democrats, and two have been Populists. Arthur Capper was the state's longest serving senator, served from 1919 to 1949.

Kansas last elected a Democratic senator in 1932, and both seats have been occupied by Republicans since 1939, the longest current streak of one party controlling both of a state's Senate seats. Its class 2 seat has been occupied consecutively by Republicans since 1919, the longest current streak for a single seat in the country.
