Overland Park, Kansas – The third district encompasses Johnson County, Wyandotte County, and part of Douglas County. Dennis Moore easily slid to victory, in spite of a Republican majority there. He told supporters he was looking forward to working with the new Obama administration. He will be the lone Democrat in the Kansas delegation once again, but will have a larger Democratic majority to work with in Congress.

Laura Ziegler

I partner with communities to uncover the ignored or misrepresented stories by listening and letting communities help identify and shape a narrative. My work brings new voices, sounds, and an authentic sense of place to our coverage of the Kansas City region. My goal is to tell stories on the radio, online, on social media and through face to face conversations that enhance civic dialogue and provide solutions.
