Two speech bubbles on a purple background. There is a brown and gold podium in front of the speech bubbles with a spotlight on it. At the top of the image, it says "candidate conversations" in all-caps.

Candidate Conversations

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.

KBIA’s Jessica Reese sat down with Libertarian candidate for governor, Jim Higgins, to find out more about what his plans are for the state if elected. He is running against incumbent Democrat Jay Nixon, and Republican newcomer Dave Spence in the Nov. 6^th election.

Higgins discussed what a Libertarian believes, and how that motivates his stance on issues like education funding, the economy, and the state’s infrastructure. He says giving businesses economic incentives will not help job growth and the state’s economy, but instead, says the state should let the fundamentals of market supply and demand naturally sort out this issue.
