Governors of the State of Kansas

"The governor of the State of Kansas heads the executive branch, which includes the lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and attorney general. Territorial governors were appointed by the U. S. President. After statehood, for more than 100 years, the electorate filled these offices every two years. Beginning with the 1974 election, the term of office became four years." - Source: Kansas State Historical Society
