It’s Morning Edition on K R P S. I’m Fred Fletcher-Fierro. Campaign election season is in full season, in case you haven’t noticed, and while many of the names on the ballot are familiar, there is one candidate whose name will not appear on the ballot. Audrey Richards is running as an independent, write-in candidate in Missouri’s 7th Congressional District. I spoke with Richards last week at the Joplin Public Library, both of us wearing masks. I first asked Richards to introduce herself to potential voters and why she is running for congress.
