How does Adrienne Vallejo Foster characterize Davids' first term? "She's done nothing," said the Republican candidate.

A longtime political figure in Kansas is seeking federal office in the U.S. Senate, a former suburban mayor is looking to best her primary challengers for the chance to unseat U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids, and a Kansas City bar wants to engage and better include dog lovers who are Black.
