The Horse Race
Your weekly look at politics, policy and elections in Massachusetts
Episode 13: Money Riders
This week it's all about the money, and the numbers are eyepopping -- Warren's making bank, candidates in the MA-3 are raking it in and Marty Walsh is growing his war chest fresh off reelection.
We also check in on Brendan Crighton's walk into the state senate and preview the upcoming State of the Commonwealth. And in case you were wondering (and paying attention to trivia), the first stagecoach between Boston and Cambridge opened in 1793 -- a "reliable" Omnibus stagecoach replaced it in the early 1800s. Oh the jokes.
