Each election year, KBIA sits down with local candidates to hear what they have to say on their own terms. Some of these candidates you might see on TV every day. Others might be familiar by name only, if that. But KBIA interviews them all so that you can be informed when you go to the polls in November.

Schoeller wants to create "fair ballot commission"

KBIA’s Kristofor Husted interviews Missouri state Rep. Shane Schoeller, who is challenging Democrat Jason Kander for the secretary of state office in the November 6 election.

In the interview, Schoeller talks about his plan to create an independent “fair ballot commission” composed of citizens.  He says if the ballot language comes into question, the commission will decide if the language is permissible. If not, Schoeller says the commission will have the opportunity to rewrite it. He also discusses streamlining the business registration process and why he thinks a photo identification requirement for voters is important for the state.
