Career[]
Billinger represented the 121st district of the Kansas House of Representatives, was redistricted and ran for the 120th in 2012 and lost his primary to Ward Cassidy, then won the 120th in 2014.[1][2][3]
Billinger succeeded Ralph Ostmeyer in the Kansas Senate in 2017.[4] The senate district covers the entirety of Cheyenne, Decatur, Ellis, Gove, Graham, Logan, Norton, Rawlins, Sheridan, Sherman, Thomas, Trego, and Wallace Counties and also part of Phillips County.[5]
In the 2020 general election, Billinger was listed as a United States Senate candidate, in his race against Democrat Larry Dreiling of Hays, instead of the 40th State Senate district. According to the office of Republican Secretary of State Scott Schwab, in-person absentee voting in the 2020 election was scheduled to resume after being shut down for three days, until October 21, because of the ballot error.[6]
