Summary
With just 29 days until advanced voting opens for the 2026 primary election, it's important to start educating ourselves on possible candidates and prepare for voting. We invited Senate candidates on the show, and today were joined by Patrick Schmidt, a Democratic candidate for the United State Senate. As a current Kansas Senator, he joins the show to explain what he's hoping to accomplish if elected and how he plans to get there.
