Struggling Yoder uses friendship with Cleaver as a campaign tool
https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/election/article220839755.html"WASHINGTON
Rep. Kevin Yoder wants you to know he has a Democratic friend. And he’s reminding voters over and over.
Yoder, struggling to hold onto his Kansas City area seat, has been touting his relationship with Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri, a prominent former Kansas City mayor and African American congressman, in the campaign’s closing days.
Cleaver and Yoder have been allies in the Congressional Civility Caucus, and have long worked together to help their contiguous districts.
But using Cleaver as a campaign aid is clearly annoying to him and his fellow Democrats."
