In the 2022 redistricting, Kansas Republican mapmakers left Johnson alone & instead splintered D-heavy Wyandotte County. That lowered Biden's 2020 margin in #KS03 to +4 from +11, though Davids was +12 in 2022 and +11 in 2024 (running ahead of Harris's +4)

Current map vs 2010s map (black lines):

These days, making Davids's #KS03 red would require chopping Johnson County (suburban KC), which accounts for 83% of the district population and has shifted sharply from Rs in the past generation

Johnson went from Bush +23 in 2004 to Harris +8 in 2024:

Kansas Republican legislators would need near-unanimous buy-in to call a special session and also eventually override veto over Dem Gov Laura Kelly's opposition. Both need 2/3 supermajority.

Senate 31R/9D, House 88R/37D per great NCSL chart below (1 House R resigned this week). #KS03

The Murkowskis and the Grijalvas. Very little overlap between the West Virginia US House district Shelley Moore Capito held and the district her father had in the mid-1960s.

Pelosi (CA)/D'Alesandro (MD) and Miller (WV)/Devine (OH) represented different states.

Answers:
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Thomas D'Alesandro Jr.)
Rep. Carol Miller (Samuel Devine)
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Frank Murkowski)
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (Arch A. Moore Jr.)

Including Adelita Grijalva, 152 women in Congress (126 House, 26 Senate) = 28.5% of the 533 occupied seats (2 vacancies in House).
