The 2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Kansas will be held on November 8, 2016, to elect the four U.S. Representatives from the state of Kansas, one from each of the state's four congressional districts. The elections will coincide with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections.

District 1

Incumbent Republican Tim Huelskamp defeated a little-known opponent, former school administrator Alan LaPolice, in the Republican primary election by a closer than expected margin of 55% to 45% in the 2014 elections. Because of this, his poor relationship with House Republican leadership and his support for cutting farm subsidies, which cost him the support of the Kansas Farm Bureau and Kansas Livestock Association in 2014, he is thought to be vulnerable to a primary challenge.^[1]^[2]

Candidates

Declared

Tim Huelskamp, incumbent U.S. Representative
Alan LaPolice, former school administrator who had a close primary race against Huelskamp in 2014^[3]
Roger Marshall, an obstetrician from Great Bend^[3]

Potiental

Garrett Love, Member of the Kansas Senate since 2011, succeeded Huelskamp in the state senate when he became U.S. Representative^[1]

District 3

Incumbent Republican Kevin Yoder may face a primary challenge from physician and 2014 Senate candidate Milton R. Wolf.^[4]
