  Kansas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kansas was admitted to the United States as a free state on January 29, 1861, making it the 34th state to enter the Union.
Kansas has a reputation as a progressive state with many firsts in legislative initiatives—it was the first state to institute a system of workers compensation (1910).

 Kansas's 1st congressional district - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
District 1 for the United States House of Representatives in the state of Kansas is the eleventh largest congressional district in the nation.
Kansas had but one representative in the U.S. House of Representatives until after the census of 1870, which showed that the state was entitled to three members of the lower branch of the national legislature.
In the district the population distribution by age was 26.46% under the age of 18, 9.50% from 18 to 24, 26.27% from 25 to 44, 21.41% from 45 to 64, and 16.36% who were 65 years of age or older.

 78189 -- State v. McBride -- Wahl -- Kansas Court of Appeals
The Kansas Legislature passed K.S.A. 65-4116(c)(8) authorizing the use of peyote in religious ceremonies by members of the Native American Church in order to conform Kansas law to those aspects of the United States Code that enacted the federal policy of preserving Native American culture and supporting tribal self-government.
The motion to dismiss was denied by the district court judge, who questioned whether the McBrides were "legitimate practitioners" of the Rastafarian faith because the quantity of marijuana found at their residence was so large.
The district court granted the motion in limine because it did not believe the Rastafarian faith required an adherent to cultivate nearly 100 marijuana plants to practice the religion, and, therefore, the RFRA did not apply.

The Republican voters casting ballots Tuesday in the primary for Idaho’s 1st District are resolving the mystery of a six-way race that has been a genuine free-for-all: None of the contenders appeared completely out of the running as the campaign ended and the voting began.
