Mark Gilstrap is an American politician and a former member of the Kansas Senate, representing the 5th district from 1996–2008. With the backing of Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Gilstrap ran for that same seat in 2012, but lost in the primary to Steve Fitzgerald. A former Democrat, Gilstrap is a fiscal and social conservative, and is one of the state's most ardently pro-life politicians.
