The Horse Race
Your weekly look at politics, policy and elections in Massachusetts
Episode 55: The Halloween Boo Wave
For your spookiest episode of The Horse Race yet, we hit the stretch run just one week before the election. As election day nears, Steve Koczela and Jennifer Smith provide an update on three new polls that have been published this week. Then we check in on the attorney general's race with Maddie Kilgannon of WGBH. And finally, we hear from Steve Brown of WBUR about several of the contested seats in this year's race.
And, don't forget to register for our LIVE post general election recording at WeWork One Beacon next Wednesday, November 7th from 6-8pm with special guests Rachael Rollins, Michelle Wu, and Brian Wynne.
