Politically Speaking

State Rep. Deb Lavender is the latest guest on the Politically Speaking podcast, where she talks with St. Louis Public Radio’s Jason Rosenbaum about running in the competitive 15th District Senate contest. The 15th District takes in portions of south central and southwest St. Louis County, which includes cities like Kirkwood, Ballwin, Manchester, Twin Oaks and Valley Park. Lavender is squaring off against Sen. Andrew Koenig, a Manchester Republican who won his general election in 2016 by nearly 20 percentage points. Koenig is slated to record an episode of Politically Speaking in October.
