The Horse Race
Your weekly look at politics, policy and elections in Massachusetts
Episode 53: Faded Blue Genes
We're gearing up for these final weeks before the general election with our new Horse Race co-host, and many time guest of the pod, Jennifer Smith.
Here to keep us updated with this week's wave of Senator Warren news is Vicki McGrane of the Boston Globe. Then, we welcome a new guest to the show, Dr. Shannon Jenkins Chair of the Department of Political Science at UMass Dartmouth who claims we should all be paying closer attention to the 9th Congressional District race. And finally, what's an episode of The Horse Race without polls! Steve Koczela reports on a recently published poll on Question 1 with perspectives from the nurses themselves. And, don't forget to check out our live event on November 7th at We Work One Beacon.
