Brenda Landwehr is a Republican member of the Kansas House of Representatives, representing the 91st district. She has served since 1995.

Landwehr is the owner of LT Care Solutions, Inc. and is a member of Christ the King Church, Comcare Mental Health Advisory Board, and the Salvation Army Foster Care Advisory Board.[1]

On October 25, 2011 Rep. Landwehr announced that she would not run for reelection to the Kansas House but would instead be seeking the State Senate seat currently held by Sen. Jean Schodorf.[2] Rep. Landwehr is a well known member of the more conservative wing of the Kansas Republican Party while Sen. Schodorf is a "moderate" Republican known to be able to work across party lines.[3]

Rep. Landwehr made news in March 2012 when she complained that a proposed redistricting map would "put her 'primarily Caucasian' neighborhood in a more diverse district."[4] “Clearly, gerrymandering an area of Wichita where primarily Caucasian voters reside, in homes that are upwards of $800,000 and more in price, violates committee rules and federal redistricting guidelines,” Rep. Landwehr said in written testimony to the redistricting committee.[5] In fact, Landwehr's district contains "few if any" $800,000 homes[6] and her comment was generally seen as one of racism.[7][8][9]
