Markey Hosts Springfield Town Hall Today

http://www.markey.senate.gov/about

Massachusetts U.S. Senator Ed Markey is holding a town hall in Springfield Monday.

Markey’s event, during which the Democrat plans to talk about issues including health care and immigration and take questions from the audience begins at 6:30 p.m. at Forest Park Middle School. 

In February, Markey held what he billed as an “emergency” town hall in Northampton where he vowed to fight the Trump administration.

" And if he is going to try to assault Massachusetts laws he should expect to be in for a big fight," declared the state's junior Senator.

Markey also advocated for universal broadband access and more attention to the opioid crisis.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
