Kansas City PBS will host a debate in partnership with the Shawnee Mission Post and KCUR between Kansas’ 3rd Congressional District candidates: incumbent U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids (D) and her challenger, Amanda Adkins (R). Nick Haines will moderate this hour-long exchange, which will air as a Week in Review special on Friday, Oct. 21, at 7:30 p.m. on Channel 19.1.
“Who we elect to represent us in Congress is one of the most consequential decisions we make as citizens,” said Kliff Kuehl, president and CEO of Kansas City PBS. “The decisions our elected officials make affect us, our neighbors and our communities - Kansas City PBS is proud to be an important, informative source that assists our audiences in feeling confident in their choices.”
This debate between Davids and Adkins continues Kansas City PBS’ “On the Ballot” election coverage. Throughout the summer, KCPBS has provided ample coverage, including a Kansas Attorney General primary debate and a Kansas gubernatorial debate, while recent episodes of the Flatland show have explored the nuances of pivotal issues, including reproductive rights, recreational marijuana, how citizens can pursue ballot initiatives and more. Still ahead of election day, Haines will be moderating additional debates between candidates and Flatland will bring more online resources and in-depth coverage to the conversations.
