Fighting for the urban core
Some serious African American congressional firepower will swoop into Kansas City on Saturday, hoping to rev up fervor for Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill.
Reps. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois, Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio and Bobby Scott of Virginia will join Reps. Emanuel Cleaver and Lacy Clay of Missouri at a Bartle Hall rally.
Also appearing: Grammy-winning R&B singer Regina Belle and members of the classic soul group The Moments.
The flyer for the event promotes "our friend and next senator Claire McCaskill."
The rally is from 4-6:30 p.m. Tickets are free; call (816) 561-2575 for more information.
