The Horse Race
Your weekly look at politics, policy and elections in Massachusetts
Episode 54: The Elephant in the Room
Welcome to debate season! On this episode of The Horse Race, Steve Koczela and Jenn Smith check in on the rousing round of debates that swept the state this past week. Next, we call many time guest of the pod, Chris Lisinski to check in on the MA 3rd Congressional district race. And finally, we hear from Shira Schoenberg on a race we should all be paying more attention to; the treasurers race (while cringing through their most recent trending hashtag.)
We can't wait to see you all on Wednesday Nov. 7th from 6-8 PM at WeWork One Beacon for our upcoming LIVE event featuring guests, Rachael Rollins and Michelle Wu. RSVP here: https://thehorseracelivemageneralelectionstretchrun.splashthat.com/
