Seg. 1: Kansas City Mayoral Candidate Phil Glynn. Seg. 2: Immigrant Women's KC Influence.

Segment 1: Phil Glynn says he wants to be Kansas City mayor because he'd done as much as he could as an activist.

Today, we learned why Phil Glynn thinks his background in business and activism has prepared him to make improvements throughout Kansas City as mayor. "Too much of the focus has been on luxury developments downtown, not on our neighborhoods," the candidate said.

• Phil Glynn, Jackson County Democratic Committee member and president of Travois

Segment 2, beginning at 25:28: The contributions of immigrant women has been underappreciated.

Female immigrants have had their own historic role in Kansas City, but it's often overlooked. We talked with a University of Missouri-Kansas City historian about her mission to recognize these women's role in shaping our community.
