Congressman Peter Welch has been pushing for a longterm transportation funding bill.

Congressman Peter Welch says he's optimistic that President Obama's new agreement with Iran is the best way to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. He's also been pushing for a long term transportation funding bill, as opposed to the stopgap measure that just passed in the House.
Congressman Welch joins us to talk about these issues and more.
