District 31
Kansas House District 31 is home to hardworking families, longtime homeowners, lots of students and young professionals, and the best donuts in the city (you know who I’m talking about!). We are located in southeast Wyandotte County, and the district covers everything in between 635 and State Line. The northern border is Metropolitan Avenue and District 31 reaches down to County Line/47th Street. Kansas House District 31 includes the Rosedale Neighborhood, the Argentine Neighborhood, and a little bit of Turner.
