On Wednesday night, Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren and her opponent Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass) are both holding campaign fundraisers.

Warren is hosting a policy team trivia night fundraiser in Somerville, Ma.—the cost to attend is $20 per person or $100 for a team of five. Brown’s is a little different—he will be at Chef Michel Richard’s restaurant Central in Washington, D.C. where individuals need $1,000 to attend (and $2,500 to host).

An opinion piece by Adam Friedman of MASSvote discusses how the huge amount of time that Congress spends fundraising hurts prospects for addressing our nations challenges, and calls for support of the Fair Elections Now Act.

The Worcester Telegram and Gazette News quotes Public Campaign Action Fund Executive Director Nick Nyhart on the relationship between candidates and special interest donors.

The Worcester Telegram chides Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Chris Gabrielli for opting out of the public financing system, claiming he's "fail[ed] his first test of public policymaking"
