Neal is up for re-election next year, and he is being challenged for the first time in years by Republican Dr. Jay Fleitman, who is Chair of Northampton’s Health Board, Chair of Republican city ward, immediate past President of the local hospital’s medical staff, and member of the hospital’s board of trustees. Fleitman said in a press release, “Health care isn’t a privilege or a right. Health care is a necessity.” Monster.

I live on Northampton, and it scares me that Fleitman is Chair of my city’s Health Board. It also bothers me that Neal is not on that list. A couple towns over, in Amherst, John Olver made the list under “Robust”

Time to Whip Neal I believe. Any suggestions to help me Whip Neal Good are welcomed. Any ideas on how to keep Neal in office, but make him more Progressive are also welcomed.
