27 News caught up with a member of the group, who shared with us that the organization is speaking out against a constitutional amendment that will be on the 2026 ballot.
The amendment aims to change the way that Supreme Court Justices are selected in Kansas. Currently, when a seat needs to be filled, a nominating committee provides a list of names to the governor, who then picks from that list.
If the amendment passes, the selection process would then be based on a traditional election, allowing voters to elect Justices. This amendment has been endorsed by the Kansas Republican Party.
However, “Women for Kansas” is urging everyone to vote no. Kelly Wall, a member of the group, tells us that the current selection process better represents Kansans from all parts of the state.
“Through that nominating committee, there are people nominated across the state sometimes representing smaller communities, Wall said. “If we got into elections, it would more likely be people from larger communities where there is fundraising and the money coming in. We all have to do our part and remember, we have to remember August 2026 turn out and vote no.”
The local group is also fighting to fully fund education and protect reproductive rights.
