Kansas last Dem Senator was elected in 1932, and left office in 1939 shortly before The Wizard of Oz came out.

This is the longest streak of one party being elected to both senate seats ever. Republicans only have to win the 2026 and 2028 Senate elections in Kansas to manage to reach 100 years without electing a Dem Senator barring anyone vacating the seat early. Will Democrats manage to break the streak in time, or is the historic centennial marker of Dems no longer winning in Kansas be written into history?

I think one of Kansas’ Senate seats has only ever elected Republicans.
Marshall's seat has elected two Dems wayback when. Moran's seat has elected two populist party candidates in the late 1800's and elected its only Dem in 1932.
