Kansas Attorney General

Election date: Tuesday, November 3, 2026
Jurisdiction: State of Kansas

The attorney general is Kansas's top lawyer and one of its most visible statewide offices. Kris Kobach is the incumbent, and Chris Mann is the main challenger on the board right now.

Why it matters

This office decides which lawsuits Kansas joins, which criminal or civil fights get statewide attention, and how aggressively state law is enforced in court.

Office context

What does this job actually do?

The attorney general is Kansas's top lawyer. They decide which lawsuits the state files or joins, prosecute major crimes that cross county lines, protect consumers from scams, and defend or challenge state laws in court. If a company rips off Kansans, if there's a statewide criminal case, or if Kansas sues the federal government, this is the person running that fight.
