With Election Day less than a week away, political observers joined Up to Date to talk about what they're watching out for.

In Kansas, races appear to be close for governor, attorney general and the 3rd Congressional District.

On the Missouri side, there's a race for the U.S. Senate, the question of whether to legalize recreational marijuana, and the $50 million housing trust fund bond issue.

Two political experts joined Up to Date to discuss what they're seeing.

Beth Vonnhame, associate dean in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, professor of political science, University of Missouri-Kansas City
Dave Helling, columnist and editorial board member, The Kansas City Star

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
