KANSAS CITY, MO – Seven candidates are vying to be the next mayor of Kansas City, Missouri. The primary on February 22, 2011 will narrow the field down to two. As part of KCUR's municipal election coverage, we're sitting down with each of the seven candidates in a place of their choosing.

Councilwoman Deb Hermann met up with KCUR's Frank Morris at a local Italian restaurant, a place she says is an example of a great, small business.

I’ve been at KCUR almost 30 years, working partly for NPR and splitting my time between local and national reporting. I work to bring extra attention to people in the Midwest, my home state of Kansas and of course Kansas City. What I love about this job is having a license to talk to interesting people and then crafting radio stories around their voices. It’s a big responsibility to uphold the truth of those stories while condensing them for lots of other people listening to the radio, and I take it seriously.
