Sunday political roundup

December 12, 2004 |

From today’s Star…

Steve Kraske on Mayor Kay Barnes political future - a possible charter amendment for a third term, or challenge to US Representative Sam Graves in the 6th District. The Congressional bid looks most likely, but it’s unknown how the suburban and rural district would embrace a relative newcomer from the Ward Parkway corridor.

Kit Wagar interviews outgoing Governor Bob Holden.

2005’s Battle Royale for Republican legislatures in both Missouri and Kansas will be attempts to ban embryonic stem cell research. The party’s two biggest constituents, social conservatives and big business, will be at opposite ends of the debate. While other states are providing public money for stem cell research, the bistate region is struggling just to keep it legal.

    Todd Graves is the US Attorney for Western Missouri, it is his brother Sam that is the U.S. Representative for the 6th District.

    It would be tough for the dems to pick up the 6th district, but I still the right candidate could defeat Graves.
