Megan Steele is an American politician from Kansas that currently represents the 51st district of the Kansas House of Representatives since 2024 as a Republican.
Prior to her election, Steele worked as a PhD level nurse.[1] During high school Steele had a baby, which shaped her opposition to abortion and support for increased community support for young mothers.[2]
Steele ran for the Kansas House of Representatives seeking to succeed Kenny Titus who ran for the Kansas Senate.[1] She narrowly won the Republican primary with 1,572 to her challenger, Eli Kormanik's, 1,550.[3] Steele defeated Democratic former mayor of Manhattan, Linda Morse, with 7,903 votes to Morse's 3,602.[1] In 2026, Steele spoke in support of a Kansas House bill which would outlaw the teaching of "DEI," (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) and "CRT," (Critical Race Theory) in Kansas universities.[4]
