Kansas City, Mo. – In a series of conversations with the seven candidates in the race for mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, KCUR is asking about crime and the city budget.

KCUR's Laura Spencer stopped by the Charles Wheeler table at the Westport Flea Market Bar & Grill to talk to former two-term mayor and state senator Dr. Charles Wheeler. He's running for the office he last held more than 30 years ago.

Laura Spencer is staff writer/editor at the Kansas City Public Library and a former arts reporter at KCUR.
