     U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts held a town hall Friday with her constituents in Springfield.

     The Democrat spoke about her legislative priorities which include universal child care and clean energy initiatives. She knocked Republicans over efforts to restrict people from voting.

     Warren fielded questions about affordable housing, student loan debt forgiveness, and policing reforms.

     It wrapped up with her famous “selfie line.”

     Afterwards, Warren 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.
