Incumbent Kansas state Sen. David Haley and Ephren Taylor III are facing off in the 2024 Democratic primary for the 4th Senate District. The candidates joined KCUR's Up To Date for a debate on the issues facing their district and the Sunflower State at large.

20-year-old Ephren Taylor III is challenging a decades-long incumbent, Kansas state Sen. David Haley, in the Democratic primary for the 4th District Senate seat — which includes parts of Kansas City, Kansas, and Wyandotte County.

There are no Republican candidates running in this district, so the winner of the Democrat primary on August 6 will in all likelihood win the seat in November.
