John Comerford, Republican candidate for Governor's Council from the 8th District.

Pledges to make sure judicial nominees are well-suited to the position

Voters in western Massachusetts this November will elect a new representative to the Governor’s Council – the eight-member body that approves or rejects judicial appointments by the governor.

Tara Jacobs of North Adams won the Democratic nomination for the office in a four-way primary last month.

John Comerford of Palmer is the Republican candidate.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Comerford.

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.
