Joseph Brian Scapa (born March 18, 1974) is an American politician who served in the Kansas House of Representatives as a Republican from 2011 to 2016. He was originally elected in the 87th district in 2010, facing no opposition in the primary and winning a relatively easy general election victory 65% to 35% over Democrat Om Chauhan.[2][3]
In 2012, redistricting changed district lines and Scapa ran in the 88th district. He once again faced no opposition in the primary, but this time lost the general election in a narrow 53%-47% race to Patricia Sloop.[4][5] In 2014, Scapa made a comeback, challenging Sloop again and winning with 50.2% of the vote.[6] He ran for re-election in 2016, but lost to Democrat Elizabeth Bishop, in his final election as of 2023.
