Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach would "like to try a more positive, affirmative leadership" should he become governor of the state.

Segment 1: Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach looks to step up to governor.

As one of two Republican frontrunners in the Kansas gubernatorial election, Kris Kobach brings his reputation for controversy with him. Case in point, last month his campaign made national headlines for using a faux machine gun during a parade appearance in a Shawnee, Kansas. Today, he outlined his plans for higher office, and compared his style of leadership and that of President Donald Trump.

Local musicians are a staple of any great city, and the Kansas City metro is no exception. Throwback psychedelic rock, authentic Cuban folk and new jazz are some of the sounds available in Kansas City this summer. We got recomendations on what to listen to this season from local music followers.
