To the editor:
Yes, primary elections do matter, and the September 9 election in particular will determine leadership in the major statewide offices for several years to come. On September 9, voters will decide which of the candidates will move forward to the General Election on November 4.
For many months, the candidates and their supporters have been working hard all across the Commonwealth to become known to voters and to win votes. They have tried to define positions on the important issues that face the Commonwealth, and to listen to voters. One source of information about the candidates are the video records of candidate forums held earlier this year as sponsored and organized by the Lincoln Democratic Town Committee. These forums featured all candidates for the four major statewide office races including governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and state treasurer. You can watch videos of these forums on the Lincoln Cable TV website. Under the “All Folders” tab, select “Political.” Further information about most candidates can be found on the Politics1 website at www.politics1.com/ma.htm.
In addition to the four major statewide offices, Democratic candidates for regional races are:
- State Senate, 3rd Middlesex district — Mike Barrett
- State Representative, 9th Middlesex district — Tom Stanley
- Middlesex District Attorney — Marian Ryan and Michael Sullivan
September 9 will be here before we know it. It’s up to us to fulfill the promise of democracy, to become informed, and to VOTE on September 9.
Sincerely,
Gary Davis, Lincoln Democratic Town Committee
20R Indian Camp Lane
