Congress returned to Washington after the Independence Day break to a lot of big ticket items. Immigration reform promises to be contentious in the House. And the farm bill and student loans have failed to gain any traction so far this session.

Congressman Peter Welch recently talked with Vermont Edition about what he’s going to take the fight to in the next month or two.
