Make Kansas Courts Impartial

Kansas' Supreme Court is one of the most overturned courts in the country and we are the only state in the country that not only uses the Missouri selection plan, but we allow attorneys to control the process. More than 70% of Kansans agree it's time to change how our judges are selected!

Currently, an unelected commission of nine individuals, most of whom are attorneys, picks our state’s Supreme Court justices. The court wields significant power over issues that impact the lives of all Kansans. Allowing one single industry to play such an important role in the selection of our entire third branch of government removes accountability and gives power to a select group of special interests. 

Kansas’ current process for selecting judges lacks transparency and accountability. I'm asking you to change our process to match the Federal Supreme Court nominating model to finally make Kansas' courts impartial.
