Huffington Post: Congresswoman Niki Tsongas On Embracing Change

  • "I recently had lunch with Congresswoman Niki Tsongas in Washington D.C. Niki is the current U.S. Representative for Massachusetts's 3rd congressional district. She is the widow of Paul Tsongas, who was a United States Senator from Massachusetts from 1978 to 1984 and who was a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 1992 presidential election."

The Boston Globe: Niki Tsongas For 3d District

  • "Niki Tsongas has pulled off something rare in today’s Congress: even though she’s a Democrat, Tsongas has still managed to steer important measures through a Republican-controlled Congress riven by dysfunction. That’s a testament to her political skill, and a good reason for voters in the Third District to send her back to Washington for another two-year term."
