     Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has announced she is running for re-election next year in Massachusetts.

     Warren announced she would run for a second term in an email to her network of supporters.

     The popular liberal, with a national following, could face a challenge from Curt Schilling, the former Red Sox pitcher, who said he’s considering seeking the Republican nomination. 

      When asked about the potential matchup last summer, Warren literally shrugged it off.

      Her email to supporters included an appeal for donations, warning the campaign in 2018 is likely to be “uglier and nastier than anything we’ve ever imagined and I’m not taking anything for granted.”

     Warren pledged to work on her favorite causes including debt-free college tuition, raising the minimum wage, and Wall Street regulations.

    

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.
