Leading in NH polls, Warren holds Dartmouth College town hall

HANOVER, N.H. (WCAX) Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren was back in New Hampshire Thursday for town hall meetings at Dartmouth College and Newport.

The Massachusetts senator has surged to the head of the pack in New Hampshire according to Real Clear Politics' poll averages from September 1st to October 15th. It's a state she must do well in if she wants to secure her party's nomination.

At Dartmouth Warren touched on familiar themes like climate change and making education more affordable. She also took a few questions from the audience during the town hall style event. Warren plans to pay for many of her proposals by taxing the very rich, specifically people who make over $50 million a year. She also called out the billionaire class, saying they shouldn't complain about a tax targeted specifically at their fortunes.

"You built it at least in part using workers all of us helped pay to educate. You built it at least in part getting your goods to market on bridges all of us helped pay to build," Warren said. "We have a government that works great for giant oil companies that want to drill everywhere, just not for the rest of us who see climate change bearing down upon us," Warren said.
