Representative Lauren Bohi

Lauren Bohi is a member of the Republican Party and currently serves in the Kansas House of Representatives, representing District 15. She assumed office on January 13, 2025, and her current term will conclude on January 11, 2027.

Bohi was born and raised in Olathe, Kansas, where she has remained closely connected to her community. She graduated from MidAmerica Nazarene University, earning a bachelor’s degree in organizational management and Spanish. Her academic background provided her with skills in leadership, communication, and organizational development, which she later applied in both professional and civic roles. Bohi’s career experience includes working as an office manager and in behavioral health services, where she gained firsthand knowledge of the challenges faced by families and individuals in accessing care and resources.

Her entry into politics came during the 2024 election cycle, when she ran for the Kansas House of Representatives to represent District 15. The race was highly competitive, as Bohi challenged incumbent Democrat Allison Hougland. Bohi won the general election on November 5, 2024, securing 51 percent of the vote compared to Hougland’s 49 percent. Her victory reflected both her grassroots campaign efforts and her appeal to voters seeking conservative representation in the district.

In the Kansas House, Bohi has been assigned to several committees, including Judiciary, Financial Institutions and Pensions, Commerce, Labor and Economic Development, and Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications. She also serves on the 2025 Special Committee on Telecommunications. These assignments reflect her engagement with a wide range of policy areas, from legal and financial matters to economic development and infrastructure. Her committee work has allowed her to contribute to discussions on strengthening Kansas’s economy, modernizing telecommunications, and ensuring fair governance.

Bohi has sponsored legislation such as HB2005, which established the Veterans’ Valor Property Tax Relief Act, providing an income tax credit or refund for eligible individuals. This initiative highlights her commitment to supporting veterans and their families, a theme consistent with her broader legislative priorities of community support and fiscal responsibility. Her work in the legislature demonstrates a focus on practical solutions that address the needs of her constituents while aligning with conservative principles.

Outside of her legislative responsibilities, Bohi remains active in her local community. She resides in Olathe, Kansas, and continues to be involved in civic and professional activities. Her personal and professional experiences in small business, nonprofit work, and behavioral health services inform her approach to governance, emphasizing accessibility, accountability, and responsiveness to community needs.

Lauren Bohi’s career in the Kansas House of Representatives is in its early stages, but her election victory and committee assignments position her as an influential voice in Kansas politics. Her background in organizational management, community service, and healthcare advocacy provides her with a unique perspective on the challenges facing her district. As she continues her legislative work, Bohi is expected to focus on strengthening Kansas families, supporting veterans, and advancing policies that promote economic growth and community well-being.
