  • Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO), senior member of the Armed Services Committee and chair of the Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection
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.
