On Thursday's Up to Date, guest host Brian Ellison covers primary ballot issues on both sides of the state line. In Kansas, KCUR has kept an eye on Milton Wolf and Sen. Pat Roberts as they battle to be the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate. Plus, voters in the Sunflower State have a number of candidates to choose from for Insurance Commissioner.
