It is a fraught 12 days before the elections all the better to acquaint you with the options on your ballot
So today, we’ll give the folx from the 2nd congressional district the opportunity to do just that. by speaking with the challenger for the seat: Independent Cornelius Shea. We’ll learn his history, his drive for a spot in the house, his core issues and more as he seeks to connect with and learn more about the folx in the western MA section of the district
We’ll even hear the current person in that seat U.S. Congressman Jim McGovern answer some of the questions Shea has for him about his tenure and positions. Plus we'll learn McGovern's feelings about the fate of the House of representatives writ large as the elections loom ever closer, and the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and the Middle east.
If all that politics gets you anxious, maybe what you need is a little zhuzhing and a night on the town. Richie Richardson of FAB Fashion joins us to talk about Fab Passion Fashion Week New England going on October 25 and 26th. Along with his collaborators Richard Young, and Jerry Jordan Brown, we’ll clean up our seams and line up how the culture of fashion can have a local impact.
