Campaigning

An increasingly popular way for political campaigns to connect to voters is through text messaging. And while you may find them annoying — they're probably working. Plus, Kansas Democrats are hoping to flip enough seats in the state Legislature to get rid of the Republican supermajority.

Missouri political reporter Jason Rosenbaum shares his frustrations with getting bombarded with political text messages this election season.

Democrats have hoped for years to cut into the Republican supermajority in Jefferson City. While the chances of that are slim this election, newly drawn statehouse districts means Republicans may have to fight harder for their seats.

As the November election gets closer, Democratic candidates say they have been physically threatened, yelled at and followed while canvassing or during other campaign activities. They say their Republican counterparts aren’t met with the same level of harassment.

Kansas City attorney Stacy Lake has a plan to do better than the incumbent. That plan focuses on putting county residents first.

The U.S. Senate candidate tweeted a dramatization of himself, cocking a shotgun and following men in combat uniforms who break down the door of a home. As he enters the home he invites supports to get a hunting permit for RINO's, a derogatory label for moderate Republicans. Backlash has accused the candidate of inciting political violence.

The case resulted from a 2019 challenge to a state law that says local elected officials can’t spend public money to campaign for or against ballot measures or candidates.
