2018 special

In 2017, 13th district incumbent Jake LaTurner was appointed Kansas State Treasurer, and Cherokee County Commissioner Richard Hilderbrand was chosen to replace him. Because the next regular election would not be held for another 3 years, Hilderbrand had to run in a special election in 2018 to serve the remainder of the term.[6]
