FW: Voting choices
by Ruth Ryals 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Neighbors, I have been asked by a number of neighbors, so I hope you will forgive an email explaining my choices (and reasons) for the primary, in case you haven't made up your mind yet, or would like a nudge. My primary endorsements are: *Ed Markey for US Senate *Katherine Clark for US House *Pat Jehlen for MA Senate *Marjorie Decker for MA House *Helina Fontes for MA Governor's Council And, of course, for the General: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris! I think Markey has an excellent record of not only talking about, but actually passing legislation to move the US closer to a good and equal country. His most significant, and forward-looking legislation is "the Green New Deal" , an affirmational path forward to save our environment, create many new, well-paying, jobs, and a way to rethink our economy. But he has and is working on so much more, including many racial justice issues. I am less worried about how many nights he sleeps here than I am how much he is doing for us in DC. Helina Fontes would make a great choice for the council, further diversifying this body. But, most of all, GO VOTE! (Early primary voting runs through 8/28). Primary Election Day is September 1. It is safer and faster than you think! Thanks, Ruth
