The big news this week, of course, was the Senator's crushing win over challenger Ed O'Reilly in the Massachusetts primary. We knew, of course, that he would beat O'Reilly, but still we're beyond thrilled at the result. When you spend a hefty amount of your free time volunteering for someone, it's nice to see such an overwhelming victory.
There was other news, including a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation with India, which I still haven't seen, as it's not yet up at their website. There are a couple news stories related to the hearing, but I'm really hoping they get the video up soon. It sounds important.
The Senator announced a $96 mil DoD contract for GE of Lynn, MA, and $11.5 mil in emergency heating assistance. He called on HHS to preserve funding for low income working families, wrote an op-ed on climate change for the Financial Times, welcomed home 600 National Guard members, and continued his advocacy for women business owners.
WLJK notes that the Senator wore a new tie on primary day, for those of us who are into campaign minutiae. I've got to say there are no other sources for that type of info, so kudos to democrafty for filling that gap.
