About Tim
Tim Lundberg is a native Kansan and former air traffic controller from Olathe running to flip a seat in the Kansas House this fall. Tim sees a need for new leadership in Topeka and is ready to help usher in a brighter future for his district and all Kansans. He’s committed to listening to the needs of his community and advocating on their behalf for access to health care, fully funded public schools, affordable housing, and a lower cost of living.
A strong campaign and support from the DLCC could give Tim the edge he needs to flip this highly competitive district, unseat a two-term Republican incumbent, and help Democrats build power in the Kansas House.
Kansas
2026 is a historic opportunity to build Democratic power and break the Republican supermajority in the Kansas House.
The DLCC has been on the ground in Kansas for years, capitalizing on every opportunity to build momentum and chip away at Republican control of the state’s legislature. This year, we’ve identified the most competitive House districts and are bringing national attention to candidates with the best chances of flipping Republican-held seats or protecting key Democratic footholds.Â
Kansas House Democrats only need to gain five seats to break a supermajority Republicans have used to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s vetoes and pass deeply unpopular legislation, such as recent attempts to upend constitutional rights and attack democracy. Breaking the supermajority would be a critical step towards progress for Kansas.
This year’s elections are a once-in-a-decade opportunity to begin turning the tide in Kansas and in red states across the country. A brighter future is possible for all Kansans, and the DLCC is ready to support our candidates every step of the way.
