The Horse Race
Your weekly look at politics, policy and elections in Massachusetts
Episode 3: A Day at the Races
Boston loves Marty Walsh, and very little else, so says the MassINC Polling Group's post-preliminary poll for WBUR. Why is Walsh the front-runner when voters are dissatisfied on so many issues?
We also check in on Baker and the MBTA (cue ominous sound effect), Gabriel Gomez and the expanding Senate field, and Seth Moulton eating a sizzling steak in Iowa.
And don't forget to listen to the end to learn the answer to last week's trivia question! This week we ask: Who was the first woman elected to Congress from Massachusetts?
