We're live with Congressman Peter Welch, Friday, October 9, at noon.

House Speaker John Boehner has announced that he will step down - but the future of House leadership is newly complicated by Rep. Kevin McCarthy abruptly dropping out of the race. What's happening at the House of Representatives? And will a change in leadership - whatever it may be turn out to be - improve bipartisan efforts, or will it make it even more difficult for Congress to deal with critical issues in the coming months? 

We're talking with Congressman Peter Welch about the future of House leadership - plus U.S. policy in Syria, gun laws, and more.

Also on the program, Vermont Progressive Party chair Emma Mulvaney-Stanek on her party's plans for the gubernatorial race.

Broadcast live on Friday, Oct. 9, 2015 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.

Bob Kinzel has been covering the Vermont Statehouse since 1981 — longer than any continuously serving member of the Legislature. With his wealth of institutional knowledge, he answers your questions on our series, "Ask Bob."
