Kansas

From Judgepedia

Kansas has a reputation as a progressive state with many firsts in legislative initiatives - including women's suffrage years before the 19th Amendment. The council-manager government was adopted by many larger Kansas cities in the years following World War I while many American cities were being run by political machines or organized crime. Since the 1960s, Kansas has grown more socially conservative.
