General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[3]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[4][5][6]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Kansas in 2022. Information below was calculated on July 5, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Nine candidates filed to run in Kansas' four U.S. House districts, including four Democrats and five Republicans. That's 2.25 candidates per district, down from 4.75 in 2020 and six in 2018.
This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Kansas was apportioned four districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. The nine candidates who filed to run this year were the fewest since 2012, when nine candidates ran as well. That number was down from 2020, when 19 candidates filed to run, and 2018, when 24 candidates filed.
There were no open seats this year, down from one in both 2020 and 2018. No incumbents faced primary challengers for the first time since 2012. That number was down from one in 2020 and three in 2018.
Republican and Democratic candidates filed to run in all four districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party. The Republican primary in the 3rd district was the only contested primary this year, a decade-low. That number was down from five contested primaries in 2020 and six in 2018.
Presidential elections
Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+18. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 18 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Kansas' 1st the 58th most Republican district nationally.[9]
2020 presidential election results
