Senate Election Outcome Elevates Richard Neal To Dean Of State's Congressional Delegation

Rep. Richard Neal

Voters in Massachusetts elected a new United States Senator this week.  Democrat Edward Markey, who spent 37 years in the U.S. House, will succeed John Kerry in the Senate.  Just 27 percent of the state’s registered voters went to the polls on Tuesday.  WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with one of Markey’s House colleagues, Congressman Richard Neal.

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.
