Neal's Ways and Means Committee chairmanship would be lost if Republicans take control of the House

While it has been a low-key election in Massachusetts, that is not the case north of the border in New Hampshire.

Democrats and Republicans have been battling it out in races that could decide which party will control the Congress.

The high stakes have motivated Massachusetts political luminaries, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, to campaign in New Hampshire on behalf of the Democrats.

Congressman Richard Neal of Springfield campaigned in New Hampshire earlier today. After returning to Massachusetts, he spoke with WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill.

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.
