Congressional Corner with Paul Tonko - Part 1

Unlike some of his colleagues, New York representative Paul Tonko was easily reelected to Congress.

In today’s Congressional Corner, Tonko, a Democrat who will represent the new 20th district, tells WAMC’s Alan Chartock that he is looking forward to returning for the 113th Congress.

Dr. Alan Chartock is professor emeritus at the University at Albany. He hosts the weekly Capitol Connection series, heard on public radio stations around New York. The program, for almost 12 years, highlighted interviews with Governor Mario Cuomo and now continues with conversations with state political leaders. Dr. Chartock also appears each week on The Media Project and The Roundtable and offers commentary on Morning Edition, weekdays at 7:40 a.m.
