Lawmakers are moving to redraw the boundaries of Kansas Senate districts so that a GOP and Democrat senator would face running against each other. Their map also would have the Redistricting Committee’s chair drawn into a district with a GOP colleague. The chamber expects to vote on a map next week.

The plan puts Redistricting Chair Rick Wilborn of McPherson into the district of GOP Sen. Michael Fagg of El Dorado. Wilborn said that's because his district was surrounded by underpopulated districts. Republican Sen. Beverly Gossage of Eudora would be in a district with Democrat Sen. Tom Holland of Baldwin City.
