She previously served in a similar capacity for the senior federal district judge for Kansas.

In addition to her legal experience, Wempe also has served as a programmer/analyst for Western Resources, Inc., and the state of Kansas. She also was worked in personnel management, utilities analysis and energy research.

Wempe holds undergraduate and law degrees from Washburn University of Topeka. At Washburn Law School, she was named an alumni scholar and was a member of the law journal, among other honors. As an undergraduate, she was awarded a Kansas Board of Regents State Scholarship, was vice-president of Omicron Delta Epsilon (economic honor society) and played varsity tennis.

She is a member of the Kansas Bar Association.
