Kansas City Showdown: Mayor Q Vs. Congressman Alford?!?

Actually, we already covered the basics of this story and it turns out polling favors the former Kansas City morning anchor . . . 

Meanwhile, TV news offers some follow-up and a couple of worthwhile quotes . . . Check-it:  

Rep. Alford says his time as a news anchor at a Kansas City television station has created many relationships in the urban core. Those relationships only open the door for him to represent people in rural counties and in the city.

"This will not be a heavy lift for me because I have a heart to serve people," Alford added . . . 

"We will make sure that there is a voice, to say that we are here to work for Missourians, not for Donald Trump," Lucas explained. "Yesterday’s maps was about pleasing Washington, it was not about making differences and building jobs in Missouri. Something I’m proud to celebrate today. I’ll keep fighting that fight for as long as we need to."

Earlier this month, Lucas announced his interest in a campaign for the U.S. House if the Missouri First maps were to pass, not stating which district he would campaign for. On Monday afternoon, that sentiment remained the same. Lucas has yet to announce if he will challenge Alford in the 4th District or make a run in the 5th.
