Endorses Rahjes

The race

Kansas House District 110 elects one representative to a two-year term on November 3, 2026. The incumbent, Ken Rahjes (Republican), is seeking re-election. The confirmed general-election roster is: Mark Schaukowitch (Democratic Party); Ken Rahjes (Republican Party). No published district-level competitiveness rating was located for this district at this sourcing depth.

Mark Schaukowitch (D), nominee. Mark Schaukowitch appears on the confirmed general-election roster for this district (Ballotpedia general-election table, accessed October 25, 2026), and Hays Post reporting likewise names the Democrat in this race as Mark Schaukowitch.

Pros: The Democratic nominee, giving the district's Democratic voters a choice on the ballot. Cons: No documented break with the Democratic Party toward this publication's values was located in the compiled record — no Manchin-test break. The organizing vote adds to a Democratic caucus whose program this publication opposes; that caucus weight is lighter in the House than in the Senate, but it does not create an exception where no break exists. The flaw, plainly: Enabler class, not extremist — a reliable party-line vote, which is the standing reason the exception for a Democrat is not earned here.

Ken Rahjes (R), incumbent. Ken Rahjes is the Republican incumbent on Ballotpedia's general-election table for this district. The path here was unusual, and it is printed in full: Wikipedia's 2026 Kansas House retirements list names Rahjes as retiring to run for Kansas Secretary of State. Hays Post reporting fills in what followed — Rahjes instead ran as Scott Schwab's running mate in the Republican gubernatorial primary, which that ticket lost; Cody Ward won the Republican primary for this seat and then asked to be removed from the ballot for health reasons; and Republican delegates then selected Rahjes, who has served the 110th District for 11 years, as the replacement nominee (Hays Post, 2026). Ballotpedia's ballot listing — Rahjes on the general ballot — is followed here over the Wikipedia retirement note, and the conflict is printed, not resolved.

Pros: A long-serving Republican incumbent with an 11-year record in this seat, returned to the ballot by the party's own delegates. Cons: No proven flaw meeting this publication's standard was located in the compiled record at this sourcing depth. The flaw, plainly: None proven was located in the compiled record.

OUR CALL

We endorse Ken Rahjes (R). Ken Rahjes is the Republican incumbent on the confirmed general-election ballot; no proven flaw disqualifying the endorsement was located in the compiled record, and the Democratic alternative does not pass the Manchin test on any record located. No extremist classification is made for any candidate here: no documented DSA membership, self-described democratic-socialist identification, or authored socialist program was located for any candidate on this ballot, and enabler is not extremist.
