The Session has begun

Monday's snowstorm forced inaugural ceremonies inside the Kansas House chambers for the first time since at least 1923 but didn't delay the start of the 2011 Legislative session. Members of the House and Senate were sworn into office during the afternoon and there will be plenty of new faces with at least 40 of the 165 lawmakers assuming duties for the first time. (More.)

Know your Legislators

Nearly one-quarter of this year's list of legislators is new so it's understandable if you don't know them by name. It's easy to find out who is representing you in Topeka by visiting the Kansas' legislative website at www.kslegislature.org. Here you'll find a full listing of lawmakers by name and by district. There's even an interactive map of the state available to you. (More.)

Legislative Etiquette 101

If you're new to the legislative process, it's easy to quickly become overwhelmed. We're here to help! As a member of the Gorilla Legislative Network you're invited to join us for a very special GLN Training Session. You'll learn about the legislative process, how to contact legislators, and you'll hear from a former legislator on the best way to have your voice heard. (More.)

Know our platform


As a Gorilla Legislative Network member, it's important to familiarize yourself with our platform. (More.)
