Vermont's sole congressman is a Democrat, but he's also received enough primary write-in votes to be the Republican candidate for Congress, too. We invite listeners to join the live conversation with Rep. Peter Welch on a wide range of issues.
Among the topics on Thursday's Vermont Edition are:
- A short-term budget bill needs to be passed by the end of the month, but it's snagged on disagreements over funding to combat the Zika virus.
- Milk prices are low this year, making it a difficult economy for dairy farmers.
- Prescription drug prices remain high, but there are efforts to lower them.
- Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is hoping to get the votes of Bernie Sanders' supporters, and Welch - who supported Sanders in the primary - is trying to help that effort.
- The Trans-Pacific Partnership has remained controversial, and faces uncertain chances in the Lame Duck session of Congress.
