Behind the KC Voter Guide
The Kansas City Star teamed up with local newsrooms from the nonprofit KC Media Collective to create a comprehensive guide to all the races on the Nov. 5 ballot in Clay, Jackson, Johnson, Platte and Wyandotte counties.
This effort brought together dozens of reporters and editors to provide information on every candidate in more than 100 races in five Kansas City-area counties on both sides of the state line.
Contributors include: The Kansas City Star, The Beacon, Kansas City PBS/Flatland, KCUR, Missouri Business Alert and Startland News, along with American Public Square and RevEd.
How we reported these guides
Reporters in our newsrooms used a variety of methods to compile brief biographies and policy positions for each candidate on the ballot.
Whenever possible, reporters interviewed candidates directly. In some cases, candidates did not respond to our attempts to reach them or had minimal information available online or elsewhere. We have mentioned this in their candidate profiles.
Reporters also used campaign websites, social media feeds, press releases and other news articles. We reviewed incumbents’ legislative records, including bills they sponsored and votes they cast.
Each candidate submission has been reviewed by the editors.
Portions of the election guide and resources have also been translated into Spanish, with the help of our partner organization RevEd and other translators.
