Democrat Chris Mann is running this November to unseat incumbent Republican Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach. Mann said he’s focused on serving the people of Kansas and protecting customers, and argues that Kobach has prioritized his own political aims. Mann lost the same race against Kobach in 2022 by 1.6 points.

@kcur893 Kansas City’s hottest new restaurant will let you feed a giraffe — just make sure you hold the lettuce still. The @kansascityzoo this week began offering giraffe feeding sessions to guests at their new Giraffe Crossing habitat. Sessions cost just $5 to participate, and happen daily at 10 am, noon, and 2 pm. The improved giraffe habitat is part of ongoing renovations in the Kansas City Zoo’s Africa section, aimed at making a better experience for visitors and improving living conditions for animals. KCUR thought it was only fitting to send our shortest reporter, Celisa Calacal, to interview the zoo’s tallest animal (and its keepers). 🎤Hosted by Celisa Calacal 🦒Co-hosted by Aidan the Giraffe 📹Filmed and produced by Zach Perez 🖥️Edited by Gabe Rosenberg #kansascity #zoo #giraffe ♬ original sound - KCUR - Kansas City
