Ken Rahjes, a fourth generation Kansan, was raised on a diversified family farm and ranch outside of Agra in north central Kansas, where he lives with his wife of 35 years, Lori.

For the last decade, Ken has served constituents in the 110th District of the Kansas House of Representatives. He most recently served as Chair of the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee and serves on the House Committee on Appropriations and the Agriculture and Natural Resources Budget Committee. He is the former Chair of the Higher Education Budget Committee and former Vice-Chair of the Committee on Water.

Ken led the effort to strengthen rural Kansas by passing the Attorney Training Program for Rural Kansas Act (Sub for HB 2595), which encourages and expands opportunities and incentives for licensed attorneys or Kansas Law students to practice in rural areas.
