Mark Donka is the Republican candidate for the U.S. House.

Mark Donka won a close three-way race in the Republican primary for Vermont’s lone congressional seat. He now faces Representative Peter Welch for the second consecutive time in the general election.

Donka outlines his positions on the bill to fund Syrian rebels fighting ISIS, the federal budget, the Affordable Care Act, immigration and other issues facing Congress.

Also on the program, Burlington Free Press Staff Writer Nancy Remsen discusses the recent decision by Governor Shumlin to shut down Vermont Health Connect, the state’s health insurance marketplace, until November.

Plus, we listen back to the voices in the news this week.
