Political Pundits: Kansas And Missouri Legislative Sessions, Donald Trump

There's a lot to talk about in politics right now. The Kansas Legislative session is over, Missouri's session is in its final week, and the race for the presidential nomination is headed for the finish line. Up To Date's political pundits hash it all out. 

Guests:

  • Patrick Miller is an assistant professor of political science at the University of Kansas.
  • Dave Helling  is a political reporter for The Kansas City Star.
  • Bryan Lowry covers the Kansas Statehouse for the Wichita Eagle.
  • Marshall Griffin is the Statehouse Reporter for St. Louis Public Radio. 
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. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
Kansas City needs journalists who show up not just on people’s worst days, but on their best ones — and the boring ones in between. I build relationships across the metro, so our newsroom can bring you critical information when times are tough, and seek out moments of joy to celebrate. Email me at lisa@kcur.org.
