Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill On Politics And Being 'Plenty Ladylike'

Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill's political journey from Jefferson City to Washington D.C. has been far from easy.  On this Up to Date, Sen. McCaskill talks with host Steve Kraske about coming up through the ranks in Jefferson City, her soon-to-be-released memoir Plenty Ladylike, and recent happenings in the nation's capitol.

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.
