This year’s Truman Days speaker: Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich.

He’ll address Kansas City-area Democrats at the big Saturday evening banquet. That’ll be at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 14, at the Holiday Inn Coco Key, 9103 E. 39th St.

Kucinich? Some words that have been used to describe him: “liberal,” “unpredictable,” “buoyant,” “nuts.”

He’s a former presidential candidate, and I bet he won’t be boring. More information here.

Oh, Kucinich’s wife, Elizabeth, will join him in KC.
