Throughout the campaign for the Democratic nomination in the 1st Congressional District, healthcare has proven to be a key focus as candidates in a crowded primary field attempt to stand out in the eyes of voters. Here’s where Carleigh Beriont, Sarah Chadzynski, Bill Conlin, Matthew Emerson, Stefany Shaheen, Sarah Bella Spinosa, Maura Sullivan, and Christian Urrutia stand on the future of American healthcare.

COMMENTARY
By Brian King
“Most people don’t spend much time thinking about correctional officers. I get that. If we’re doing our jobs well, our work happens largely out of sight. But most people do understand what happens when schools can’t find teachers, hospitals can’t find nurses, or police departments struggle to fill vacancies. Communities feel it. Budgets feel it. The people doing the work certainly feel it. Corrections departments face those same challenges.”

“Alaska, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas could be won by either candidate, according to a top elections forecaster, giving Democrats several paths to regain the Senate. That marks an improvement in the party’s chances, though they may also need to secure wins in competitive races in Georgia, Michigan, and New Hampshire.”
