Congressional Race: Neal and Milleron

This week on the podcast, we have a two-fer. I've conducted interviews with both Congressman Richard Neal and his opponent in this election, Nadia Milleron. They were undertaken as part of my gig as the host of "Government Maters" on Focus Springfield.  First up is Milleron, an independent who is both an attorney and a farmer from Sheffield, MA, who came into prominence questioning safety issues after she lost her daughter in a place crash. She said that if elected she would caucus with whichever party has the best idea about a bill. Then will be Representative Neal, the former chair of the House Ways and Means Committee and a very prominent, though low key, longtime member of Congress. Neal recently  came under some criticism from a story posted on Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/24/richard-neal-son-congress-lobbying-00181853)  about ethics issues regarding his lobbyist son. Neal addressed that issue and others in the conversation.
