Lance Kinzer (born April 18, 1970 in Bay City, Michigan) is a Republican former member of the Kansas House of Representatives, representing the 30th district. He was appointed to his first term and has served since July 27, 2004. After redistricting in 2010, his district's number changed from 14 to 30. Kinzer was sworn in on January 14, 2013 as the State Representative from District 30.
On June 8, 2012, the Federal District Court released new legislative boundaries for Kansas based on the 2010 census; this decision placed Rep. Kinzer in the 30th District, in the same District with Rep. Ron Worley. Kinzer defeated Worley in the Republican Primary for District 30 on August 7, 2012 by a 57%–43% margin. Kinzer subsequently won the general election and began serving his 5th term in the legislature in January 2013.
Kinzer ran for Speaker for the 2013–14 session, but did not succeed. The Republican House Caucus chose Ray Merrick.
Kinzer, who attended Wheaton College and the University of Kansas School of Law, is currently a partner in the law firm Schlagel & Kinzer, LLC.
Prior to his election to the House, he served as Chairman of the Olathe Republican Party (2001–2004) and as Regional Director of Sam Brownback's 2004 campaign.
He has been married to his wife Michelle for 14 years and they have two children.
According to Project Vote Smart, Kinzer has sponsored three pieces of legislation during his six years in the Kansas House of Representatives. He has also cosponsored one bill.
