Scenario 1 of 7

Family Ties

All you know about Jeff Smith is that he's a 29-year-old man running in the Missouri Democratic primary to replace Dick Gephardt in the U.S. Congress. He is an adjunct instructor at Washington University and the University of Missouri, St. Louis. This is his first time running for public office.

Russ Carnahan is also a candidate in the same primary race. What you know about Carnahan is that he's a current Missouri state representative and he comes from an established political family—his mother is a former U.S. senator, his grandfather was a former Congress member and his father, a former Governor of Missouri, won a Senate seat in Missouri before dying in a tragic plane crash in 2002.
