Neal has been very visible on local television with ads, while Morse’s first commercial has just made its debut.
Morse’s campaign has been active with press releases, calls to homes and other fundraising activities.
Neal has made numerous appearances highlighting his work as both the representative for the district and as the chair of the House Ways & Means Committee. Last week Neal announced a more than $8 million award of COVID-19 relief money to Holyoke Medical Center (HMC). HMC was initially not eligible for the funds until Neal advocated for them and arranged for the president of HMC to speak directly to the under-secretary of Health and Human Services.
