5th District U.S. House race gets crowded

November 28, 2003 |

Popular, yet beleaguered, U.S. Representative Karen McCarthy is facing her most serious re-election challenge in years. Two fellow Democrats smell blood and are challenging her in the primary, while two Republicans are vying for their party’s nomination for a House seat in this mostly Democratic 5th District.

5th District US House candidates so far

(Missouri’s 5th House District covers most of the southern half of the metro area - including southern Kansas City, Independence, Raytown, and all but extreme eastern Jackson County. The last redistricting added Republican areas such as Lee’s Summit and the growing suburban fringe in northern Cass County.)

    It looks like Steve Dennis will run a strong campaign, but if Cleaver jumps in he may have it.
