totientThere aren't so many contested primaries this year as there sometimes are, and two good candidates (Sonia Chang-Diaz and Quentin Palfrey) have dropped out of the ones there are. But there are still some. So:
- For Lieutenant Governor, Tami Gouveia. This is a close call, as Eric Lesser would also be good, but I like her list of endorsements better than his.
- For Attorney General, I will be voting for Andrea Campbell, but it's an even closer call and Shannon Liss-Riordan would also be excellent.
- For Secretary of State, Tanisha Sullivan. Galvin is a machine politician who had to be dragged into the 20th century. Sullivan has been running the local chapter of the NAACP. The choice is clear.
- For Auditor, Christopher Dempsey. An even clearer choice; he's a progressive (and also helped shoot down the Boston Olympics bid.) His opponent is a pro-cop "moderate" who votes with the Republicans a lot.
- For State Representative, Erika Uyterhoeven. The only one of these that I've put up a campaign sign for. Though I don't really think her challenger has much of a chance.

Date: 2022-09-01 03:37 pm (UTC)Will, I was just reading about the Republican candidate Diehl, this morning. He is a Trump puppet and is endorsed by him. He has proposed school gag rules modeled on Florida's to prevent talking about gender with children. If the other Rep candidates are worse than him they would be stunning in their awfulness, but the Globe doesn't have anything to say about them.
