NORTHAMPTON - WAMC's Paul Tuthill caught up with the two Democrats running for the Northwestern district attorney.
As there are no GOP contenders, the Sept. 14 primary will decide the election.
The post oversees all criminal cases in Hampshire and Franklin counties and for the Worcester County town of Athol. Current DA Elizabeth Scheibel is retiring after nearly two decades in office.
